I have been seeing in the news that Aaliyah’s Auntie has been having some bad days here and there. I think she’ll be alright but keep her in your prayers. Yes, we miss those that are not here with us, but don’t forget the ones that are still with us.

I enjoy the song featuring Gladys Knight: Missing You

Seeing More of Aaliyah’s Family on Local News

 

By Gail Nobles 3/9/2026

It was shortly after Aaliyah's passing that I spotted more of her family on a local news station. They might have been relatives from her mother's side, but I’m not certain. They appeared to be the kind of family that resided in the countryside. I realize that I will likely never see that news segment about her family broadcasted on TV again as a rerun, and I would love to watch it once more. Hearing them talk about Aaliyah was really touching, especially knowing she was no longer with us. Seeing Aaliyah’s family members reminds me of my family members. I often wonder if we are related.

Sometimes memories of Aaliyah just come back at me. It’s amazing to me how she just died the way she did. It’s not that she’s better than anyone else that she couldn’t die, but it’s just the way it happened. It seems so very weird to me. 

I think about that plane cash. Overloading is illegal. When a plane is overloaded, it doesn't take off easily. An overloaded small plane may not leave the ground at all.

The Era that Redeemed Aaliyah (One in a Million) is a video I really enjoyed.

Music Industry Sounds Complex

 

When I think about Aaliyah, it appeared that she was very successful. But does it mean that she was successful? 

Aaliyah's career was largely controlled by her uncle, Barry Hankerson, and his label ‘Blackground Records’ . She signed her first contract with Blackground at a very young age. 

Did she get any of the money? I hear about groups like New Edition that fail to get paid any money off of their hit songs like Candy Girl. I wonder about Aaliyah. 

 Did Blackground Records owe her millions in unpaid royalties from her album sales, particularly from her massive hits 'One in a Million' (1996) and the self-titled 'Aaliyah' (2001)? If she didn't get paid, I can see why a singing career can be so tiresome. 

 When I heard about Aaliyah and Blackground Records, I heard about other record companies. I heard Blackground had a production deal with Atlantic Records. Aaliyah was working with Timbaland and Missy Elliot. 

Before Aaliyah died, it is said that she wasn’t speaking to anyone. From what I can detect from her dream that she said she had, I think she was very tired. In the music industry, things sound very complex, and I thought I wanted to go in that direction.

Whitney Thanked Aaliyah for Holding Down the Fort

 

Based on her 2001 BET Awards acceptance speech, Whitney Houston thanked Aaliyah for "holding down the fort," not the "fork". At the time of the first BET Awards in June 2001, Aaliyah was recognized as a top-tier artist holding her own among industry legends.

You Remember Aaliyah? Remember Christ

 

Sometimes Christ starts in your dreams. Some people do not know the spiritual side of life and what they have in Christ. We need to start learning.

It’s fine to remember Aaliyah, what we want to be, and what we want to do, but we need to remember Christ. His coming is getting closer.

In 1 Corinthians 3:16, the verse calls believers the temple of God, where the Spirit of God dwells.

The Closer you get to God, the more he works on your inner sight. He starts revealing His presence.

Fasting & Praying  brings about the mysteries and power of the LORD.
