Whitney Houston is dead. She was 48 years old, but her songs and her voice are eternal. Theme song ng buhay ko (at least for now) ang Greatest Love of All. I’m with kids all the time so feel na feel ko ang song na yun. Anthem, amen.
I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.
I am fortunate enough to be around kids everyday. When I see their smiles, naalala ko ang Greatest Love of All. Giveaway na ang edad ko dahil sa pagiging apektado ko sa death ni Whitney Houston, pero I will mourn!! Kebs na ang Valentine’s Day, Whitney Houston is dead!! Huhuhuhu.
Even The Thought Catalog is mourning! They posted the link of this post from their archives on Twitter:
Why Whitney Houston Is The Voice Of 20-Something Love
(Written on October 25, 2011, By Jessie Rosen)
They say Bob Dylan was the voice of his generation — a modern-day minstrel cutting through the chaos of the 1960s with clear words, poignant questions, and honest emotion.
50-some-odd years later, 20-somethings have their own set of world woes to smoke pot to. Rebelling against our parents’ petty focus on peace, love, and equality, we’ve shifted to angsting over the real issues at hand: how to get into, out of, and over relationships.
With this as our focus, we need a siren of song whose words stab at the core of our hopes, dreams and fears — one who can take complex issues and break them down into focused lyrics with clever rhymes — someone who has been down that winding, pothole-filled road before. The answer is clear: The voice of our 20-something relationship angst is Whitney Houston.
Throughout her years reining over the pop charts, she gifted us some of the most poignant lines of our time. It is this ability to express what we didn’t even know we were feeling that makes Houston our Dylan. The examples are countless, but a few shining moments really speak to the power of her messages — messages that really are the battle cries of our times.

Whitney Houston, thank you.
