Good-by Whitney

Posted on February 19, 2012 | 4 Comments

I sat down to watch T.V. and had no idea that Piers Morgan was airing a re-run of Whitney’s funeral. I decided to watch the little bit that was left. The prayer was beautiful. When they lifted her casket onto their shoulders and started playing “I Will Always Love You” I started crying. Whatever we thought about how all of this was handled and the over the top media coverage and the fact that she abused drugs and alcohol it is still sad. She was still someone’s mother, child etc. She was still a human being. One who left us with amazingly beautiful music that we will always have to enjoy. Maybe we don’t always realize how much someone will be missed until they are gone. Or maybe it reminds us that we should be kinder and more gentle inspite of other people’s faults.

So beautifully written Linda, spoken from your heart with courage. Thank-you. I know that I used to be a much kinder and gentler person… and I am endeavouring to be more so again, and it’s a much more difficult challenge than I expected. Thank-you for the kind gentle reminder to continue to aspire to be better. Take care, Mands

I so love this post. I was lucky enough to go to one of Whitney’s concerts many, many years ago when she was in her twenties. Her voice gave me goose bumps. I agree that we all have issues and need to be more understanding.

  I can however understand why soldiers are angry about the flags being lowered for her. That might have been going a little too far.
