Hold on, wasn't Whitney Houston singing about not letting the years go by?
Actually, yes. But let's talk about something a bit more somber.
Whitney Houston's life was tragically cut short in 2012. Her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, followed a heartbreaking path just three years later in 2015. That's right, three years. Talk about a cruel twist of fate.
This is a sobering reminder that even the brightest stars can burn out too quickly. **It's a good thing Whitney wasn't around to see her daughter go because let me tell you, that would have been rough. Not to downplay Bobbi Kristina's death, of course.
But hey, here's a little thought experiment for you: If Whitney Houston knew she only had a few years left, do you think she would have belted out those ballads with even more umph? Can you imagine her belting out "I Will Always Love You" knowing it would be extra true? Gives me chills.
Seriously though, both Whitney and Bobbi Kristina were talented individuals, gone too soon. Let's remember them for their music and their legacies.
