Remembering........

I got the news via text late Saturday night around 8:30 p.m. I had a busy day and decided to finally take out my cell phone and return some calls when I noticed a text from a friend. I really thought what the message said was all a joke so I ignored it. Two seconds later, I thought about the text message again and decided to call that person first. She confirmed what I did not believe to be true. Whitney Houston was pronounced dead earlier that day. My heart sank. I immediately thought of her daughter and family members who would be devastated.

I remember coming home from school and putting the cassette into the stereo and playing it over and over again until my parents got home from work. I loved that album. I thought Whitney Houston looked so beautiful on the cover. To me, she represented a new era of music. Her voice was strong, beautiful, and powerful all rolled up into one.

There's a new angel singing in the choir............. R.I.P. Whitney Houston!
