What I've Learned Looking at Aaliyah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaliyah

It makes me sad to hear what might have really caused Aaliyah's death. I have heard people say different things. It seems everybody has their own story to tell. You don't know what's true anymore. What appears true may not be true. I will not repeat rumors. People love to talk and point fingers until the finger points back at them. People will never forget mistakes you might have made in life. Some will add on to the story and some will take away. I don't know one way or the other what was going on because I wasn't in Aaliyah's life. All I know, she died in a plane crash, and it might be better to leave it at that.

Aaliyah was very young when she died and was a child compared to some of us. Aaliyah had a lot to learn. She was still growing. Aaliyah may have done some things in her life that was not exactly right. Forgive her. Some things may not have been her fault.  We all get mixed up in things sometimes in life and do not know how we got into it because of other folks. People can dig ditches and do things behind your back. People can set you up, mislead you, and mistreat you. There is a lot going on in the music business. We do not know everything Aaliyah went through. We know she dated, tried to make a great career, and earn money for a living. She did something that I always wanted to try. I use to wish that I could become a singer. I'm glad that God did not allow me to. Sometimes we are better off where we are. I believe that Aaliyah was meant to share her singing talent. A better way might have been waiting for Aaliyah. If she is in heaven, a far more better way is there for here now. Aaliyah will be doing things she was made to do in a more perfect and right way. Nobody will be able to take it away from her. Looking at her life, she was only human just like the rest of us. If she is in heaven, she has crossed over on the other side to a better home. We have got to get there too. Aaliyah's journey is over. This is what I have learned looking at her life.
