2012 was the year I fully admitted to myself that I loved you a lot, Whitney Houston.
That’s the same year you last lived on earth.
For those who never knew you, met you or heard of you….you are a legend to me!

I will intentionally not dive into your accomplishments; those are well documented on the internet, for everyone to see!
I will endeavour so much, to speak to your heart, girl!

Growing up in such a time, you had so little good of your own.
Everything was fought for, including your own safety and childhood!
You worked with what you had, to give us the blessings, vibe and memories you left us with!

I mean,
Who doesn’t remember great memories like “I look to you”, “Didn’t we almost have it all”, “Where do broken hearts go”, “I wanna dance with somebody”, “My love is your love”, huh?

There is so much to learn from your life and how you lived it.
To begin off, I learn to follow my heart and live for myself because at the end of the day, that’s all we have in this life!
Secondly, it’s never too late to get back to the things you love the most in your life, for as long as you are still breathing!
The third reason for looking up to you, is that do everything you do, with your utmost best and with the best intentions!

I miss you, girl.
It would have been lovely to watch you Whitney Houston on stage in person, when you were still alive.
We will have to settle with YouTube, for now!
She sure is a legend! It broke my heart when she passed as well. Her music causes me to stop whatever I’m doing- every time.
😍👏🏿
Whitney truly is a legend who had no business being gone so soon. Her passing is seared in my memory just as much as Michael Jackson’s because both ground the music culture to a scary and sad halt.
😭👍
She was such an amazing talent. It’s a shame her addiction finally took her life. Heartbreaking story.
😭👍
She was such an amazing talent. I really believe that meeting Bobby Brown was her first step down the dark path that finally claimed her life. YOu cannot deny that amazing talent, though.
😭👍
Such a talented and beautiful lady. I’ve always admired the strength of her voice and I still enjoy listening to her. Her talent and grace is missed – thank you for this tribute to her.

Whitney Houston was a very talented musician. I loved all of her music; it reminds me of growing up.

Nippy AKA Whitney Houston was a one-of-a-kind legend!! Her music will forever live on, and she will be remembered by generation after generation. Such a great post and I really enjoyed reading it!! Her talent and vocals were unmatchable!!

Whitney Houston’s voice and spirit have always had a special place in my heart too. It’s incredible how she managed to touch so many lives, including mine, with her music and strength.

I loved her songs so much when I was younger. And the Bodyguard movie is excellent! I think I’ll rewatch her famous hits on YouTube, too.
👍🙏🏽
First time to know about Whitney Houston but always sad to lose legends who made big changes in our world. This shall be a reminder for those who didn’t know her to know her. thank you.
👍🙏🏽
I absolutely LOVE Whitney! She was not only gorgeous but her talent was out of this world! I still remember her singing America the Beautiful and it is to this day, the best rendition I have ever heard! And I admit I have several of her songs on my favorites list! =)

OMG Whitney!! Thats 12 years gone by, and the music industry has never been the same again. I miss her voice and her smile.
