Whitney Houston is dead!

This still saddens me. Has a person ever passed away and you have to remind yourself that the person has passed away. Like, "oh...yeah...I forgot...daag!"

The King of R&B is back in the news. I would not doubt that his most recent behaviors are in response to Houston passing. Bobby Brown was supposedly doing much better professionally and personally. Both he and Bobbi Kristina need some prayers.

Last weekend, clearing out some shows on my DVR, I just watched Oprah's interview with WH's family and the re-air of her OW's interview with Whitney last year.

I came away thinking again that Whitney Houston was probably a handful, who was going to live her life the way she wanted, good and bad all in. Her lifestyle wasn't Bobby's fault, but she probably needed someone stronger than him to counter her, at least somewhat.

I was saddened again at her passing, but I could smile at what she accomplished, and the happiness her music added to others' lives.

Man, did that woman have an incredible voice. May God bless her soul.
