Whitney Houston ( Silhouette Frame of Hollywood Fame)
“ We will always love you”
February 11th, 2012 5:20 pm I received a call from a dear friend that informed me that Whitney Houston had passed away. In that moment I just froze and it played back in my mind of the other sad day June 25th 2009 when I received a phone call that the legendary king of pop Michael Jackson had passed away.
They say in life there are certain moments in this existence you would wish you never have to witness but in life where there is Joy we also have Pain. These two icons have touched my heart in such a profound way; in both situations these were two lives that could have been saved if only those they called friends “ Truly Cared”.
Our beloved Whitney Houston left us far to soon, she was more than just a world media star she was a person who came to this world and used her God given talent to leave a mark for many generations to come.
When I think about Whitney Houston I see a woman that was beautiful well within the physical, she had an angelic aura that captivated us through her music, she had a style of Grace that was embellished with Star Power in the essence of smile that was bigger than life.
However, in her eyes you could see her pain and cry for help. As, I watch the recent footage of her hours and days before she passed away, all I could see was a woman that was once this mega star who was now down played as a washed up has been by industry moguls as they paraded around with the new up and coming, while Whitney was able to watch them rehearse and walk around completely disheveled.
In my heart and soul all I could say was “How could people not see that this woman was not ok ? “ Many of us such as myself have many questions on what caused the death of this great talent ? I do know in my heart that Whitney’s death wasn’t in vain.
She impacted many people of course one being myself, I grew up listening to Whitney and watching her leave the world in awe on how she could belt a tune and leave an audience wanting more. Like many people in the world Whitney lived in a world that was full of drugs and alcohol and money and making music executives money and being around people who were aiding her rather than helping her.
The biggest disrespect that was shown was by Clive Davis himself, I can not begin to understand how anyone could continue to party and celebrate while a body of one of the greatest entertainers of all times lie dead in a hotel room. “ The party should not have gone on” However that’s the life of Hollywood, however one day all of us will have to give account on what we did when it came to the love of one another.
On February 11, all of us lost a dear sister, a mother, an aunt and a world great. I pray that the media looses it’s focus on the fall of Whitney, and look at how she rose to a success that was bigger than life it’s self.
I will remember her as someone that marked my life in knowing that a woman can set out and accomplish great things and no matter what she may go through nothing and no one can ever take the love of God from our hearts.
In life we are all accountable for the choices that we make, we are also given close confidants around us that we call friends, and when we have these friends especially in those hard times, that’s when we need them the most to “ Count on” .
Whitney I know you are now in Heaven and free from the control and the demonic forces in this world, and that your legacy will live on for many decades to come, you may have left us far to soon but God had a greater purpose for you, may you and Michael now Rest In Peace and continue to look after the rest of us, and I can only hope and pray that when all of us leave this existence we can look back and see how many lives we impacted. Whitney you were “ Every Woman” and we will “ Always Love you”
God bless us all,
April Nicole
