Whitney Elizabeth Houston
1963-2012
On The Evening of February 11, 2012 I was working at my not so amazing workplace closing up shop So I decide go to the back room to steal a swig of water when I hear my cell phone buzz buzz.. I saw on the front screen of my phone that my sister was calling so I hesitantly picked up because I did not want to get into trouble since I had slipped away without permission ….
So I picked up the phone and as soon as I did before I could even get a word in my sister says “Betty Don’t Get Excited” (They call me betty at home lol) and she utters the words I was not even expecting… ‘’Betty….. Whitney Houston Passed Away” As she said those words I just froze in my tracks I did not know what to say it felt like M.J all over again just so unexpected I mean as fans we see these high profile celebrities lives unravel n front of us… their ups and downs, struggles and Triumphs…
And when these celebrities with troubles pass away so suddenly without any reason n the back of judgmental but truthful minds we immediately suspect some type of drug overdose… which sucks but s almost always the truth… But the Incomparable, amazing
One of the most amazing vocals talents this world has ever heard or seen
Now back to the moment of hearing that one of my first musical idols had passed away
I said “You’re joking right” but deep inside I know my sister wouldn’t joke or lie to me about these things… I had to hang up to go back on the floor and when I did I took the sad luxury of informing my colleagues they were as shocked as me one of them googled
