You were loved.

Whitney Houston (1963 - 2012)

We all want to make a place in this world

We all want our voices to be heard

Everyone wants a chance to be someone

We all have dreams we need to dream

Sweeter than any star you can reach 

is when you reach and find

You've found someone

You'll hold the world's most priceless thing

The greatest gift this life can bring

is when you look back and know

You were loved

You were loved by someone

Touched by someone

Held by someone

Meant something to someone

Loved somebody

Touched somebody's heart along the way

You can look back and say. . . 

You did okay.

You were loved.


~ Whitney Houston in "You were loved."

We don't know exactly what happened. And sure, we can all speculate. But what we do know is that she was loved. I guess that's what makes it so sad. 

More later. But for now, may your soul rest in peace, Ms. Whitney.

And now playing on my mental iPod. . . . one of Whitney's most beautiful (yet rarely heard) recordings. . . ."You were loved."
