Today is a day I've been dreading the most... This year cuts deep in my heart more than all the other years.
August 25th 2001 is a day I'll never forget as an 11 year old frantically crying and questioning why? My heroine was no longer? How can this be? How do I process this? An empty void that still feels missing to this very day...
But God had other plans that day and decided he needed one of his angels back. It was a rainy day over here in the UK and every drop that poured from the sky, as I looked up to the Heavenly clouds, represented each tear pouring out wide like an ocean of my sorrowness and grief.
Not only do I grieve Aaliyah, I also grieve the loss of my Father who God also decided to take away this year on February.Today would of been his 71st birthday...Even alive it was always bitter sweet...but now...this sour bitter taste has become a part of my wound...???? A double edged pain like no other...but I know that I have 2 angels watching over me now. All those little angel signs throughout the months are a constant reminder of why I do what I do.... knowing that you're still there, in your own unique way.
I love you both eternally and miss you beyond what words can express. I cherish every moment, memory and will continue to honour your legacies so that people will never forget. Through the good, bad and ugly...thank you both for giving me the inner strength to persevere during my most vulnerable moments. ????????????????❤
Dada thank you for being my biggest supporter and hero of all, and for always encouraging me with my fanpage and website. I won't let you down or Aaliyah down. ????????
May we also never forget the lives and names of those on board with Aaliyah too. We pay our respects to their friends and family who lost their dear loved ones....
