Anyone else reeling from the death of Whitney Houston?
Maybe its because that was the first album I bought...with my own babysitting money...and wore out the tape in my boombox.
Maybe it is because she was only 8 years older than me and my daughter is her daughter's age.
Maybe it is because she was the epitome of addictions - such an amazingly talented and beautiful woman who hit the skids pretty hard, but seemed to be rising above it all.
Maybe because she wasn't a "success story" after all.
Just makes me really sad. And brings the reality of addictions home for us all.
RIP, Whitney.
