Yes, the Hudson tribute promises to be a special moment.
It's always saddening when someone well known to us, especially a talent among us, passes from us. Whether young or old, we are lessened by the loss.
I recall a thread here sometime back about Whitney, and many expressed therein hopes for a comeback and the best of wishes for her, but sometimes life, fate, circumstances, whatever you want to call it, has other plans.
Why we lost Whitney is at this point not important. Sometimes there is no why. Sometimes death just sneaks in, unannounced, and steals someone away.
What's important is that we remember her, and those who've also come and gone, for the gifts that they have brought to us all.
Remembering Whitney.
