I am saddened by the death of Whitney Houston but I admit I mourned her many years ago.
I stopped following Whitney’s career many years ago when her marriage to Bobby Brown kept her in the papers for all the wrong reasons.
Whitney was an inspiration to me and I admit to being incredibly disappointed when she hooked up with Bobby Brown. I have seen pictures of her looking haggard and out of it from abuse rather than drink. I will not remember her that way.
My Whitney will be forever beautiful.
I only wished she had found the greatest love of all and learned to love herself.
Old Irish remembrance poem
Remember me with smiles and laughter
‘Cos that’s how I will remember you all
If you can only remember me with tears, drugs and sorrow
Don’t remember me at all
(Okay. I changed a few words)
