#DearWhitney
I was all set to blog about “Safe House”…how, after standing in a long line with the wind tearing through my clothes (it must’ve been 2 degrees), I paid $11.50 to watch a lot of shooting and car crashes and murder…but there wasn’t much of an actual story.
But before I could get home to collect my thoughts, I got an email from CNN…alerting me that the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston had been found dead in her hotel room in California. What?!
I feel so…numb. I was always rooting for Whitney. I was looking forward to seeing her in more movies…or maybe she’d judge a talent competition or two…some day. I never saw this coming. Dead at 48? Really?
Now, I’m sitting here watching tributes and scanning the news channels…trying to find out why. Why has she left us so soon? Feels like I’ve lost a part of my childhood. I don’t know how else to explain it. Wow.
“I’m Every Woman” is on MTV. She looks so beautiful with the glow of pregnancy oozing from her pores!
Dear Whitney…rest in peace. I pray that your family and friends are blessed with peace of mind and the strength to go on. We mourn the loss and celebrate the life. A beautiful voice has just joined God’s Heavenly Choir.
