5 years already.....I remember I had just got up and I always try to catch a few minutes of CNN in the mornings....my boyfriend at the time was such a HUGE Aaliyah fan..I really liked her too, when I was in high school her style helped me transition from my die hard tomboy phase to something a little softer..so I had mute on for some reason but on the screen they had her pic and the date born/date died year...I honestly couldn't process what I was seeing....I called him in the room and he just sat there and stared at the screen in silence...(typing this is making the hair on my arms stand up...)he was a hard a#$ kinda dude but I remember just watching him sit there and stare at the screen silently with tears rolling down his face...it was a heartbeating day...then 9/11....it was a heartbreaking year...
