I will say this though, This has been one of the most difficult years of my life and I couldn't have and wouldn't have made it through with out the love and support of my fam, Von, Terrence, Eric, Bobby, DeVonte, and Liz <--- These people are my rocks and I hope they know how very much I love them.

So on this Whitney weekend I paid my respects to Whitney and I will not elaborate on that because it was personal for all of us.

I will say this, and I didn't feel it at first because it was just all so very emotional but once I got myself together and was able to take a deep breath I had such a sense of peace and calm.

Like Whitney said, that peace that passeth all understanding.

Thoughtfully stated, Kisha.

I too 'paid my respects' late Saturday evening. Alone. Wow. That beautifully, bright incandescent spirit continues radiate such warmth and compassion. We, too, are her legacy. Hugs to my community here. Keep well. Much love to all.

This really has been such a hard year and I wouldn't have been able to get this far without you all! I love you all like family, not just friends. I never would've made it without you. And you have no idea how much it tore me up inside that I couldn't make it to NJ/NYC with you all last weekend, and I thank you for not forgetting about me. I couldn't ask for a greater group of friends. You are all so special to me and I continue to thank God and Whitney for bringing us together.

My emotions are still all over the place. Some days all I want to listen to is Whitney. Others, I can't, just can't. It's too emotional.

I went to see Sparkle and for some reason it felt right. It was a chance to enjoy Whitney and to see her do something she loved and do it well. It was also a bit of an escape. I really miss her presence, yet I never met her. She was one of a kind.

I can't get the image out of my head! Everytime I close my eyes I am transported back to the moment just standing there...the weight of the reality of it all just hitting me in the face.

I feel peace but at the same time its like I have a photograph embedded in my mind.

I am not over the fact that shes gone...

My emotions are all twisted up right now. After seeing Sparkle, I really do have a feeling of closure, but at the same time, I'm sitting here realizing that there will be no more. Sparkle was it. I waited as long as I could, so there would always be one more thing, but now there's not. Then I snap out of it and remember that she left us Sparkle and she was just amazing in it. It really made me smile on the inside and out. And even though she is gone, i'm thankful for everything she's left us, including this movie.

But as 'put-together' as I was, when she sang in that church, "I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free" yeah, I lost it. Then hearing Celebrate put me back together.

Gosh Whitney puts me in all these weird emotions then pulls me back out lol, only Whitney.

I'm having a really rough night. I was all up and good until I put my ipod on shuffle and Robin Thicke's versoin of Exhale came up first. Out of nowhere there were tears pouring out of my eyes. And when the song ended, DWAHIA was next. It was too much for me.

Awww Liz I know how you feel I just hope that her Estate does things to keep her memory alive and to give us something too look foreward to such as the picture book that's coming out. Also the Christmas Special. I really hope someone does something for Whitney every year!!

[liz06]

Oh I know it. It don't take much to put me in a funk but Whitney pulls me right back out of it again. I'm thankful and grateful for everything she left behind and everything that's to come.

Hi, everyone! It's been a loooong time I've been here for the last time. Things have been so hard for me. There are some days when I think "she's better now then she was while in here, at least these last few years"... But at the same time, I wanted her to be here, in the selfish thought that maybe we'd be expecting the release of her next album, or song, or tour...

There are some songs that I can listen to and talk with others about how good she was! There are other songs that I just can't listen to without crying. Yes, I still cry.

Last week I was at a patient's 90th birthday party, and the guy responsible for doing the audio and video to the party put the video of "That's what friends are for" with Stevie, Dionne, Luther and Whitney, guess what happened - I started crying.

Today it's 7 months she passed away, and Fernando's 4th, birthday. God help me through such opposite feelings - the sadness for her death and the joy for his life.

Whitney wasn´t ready to go and we weren´t ready to say goodbye.
She´s gone forever....
It still hurts so, so very much.

[dablack11]

All week at work i been on youtube listening to her full concerts that are posted... Helps my day go by faster... Then i remember shes gone. Its sad but at least the music lives on. Btw... She was sounding great in 2004 hitting all the notes

[NippyFanNy779]

Now that all the Sparkle buzz is done its really starting to hit home that she's gone, that there is nothing new to look forward to, no new anything. Having Sparkle delayed that reality but now its here.

I still can't believe it most days
