Title: R.I.P Aaliyah - First Anniversary (25th August)
Post by: =[Euthanasia]= on August 24, 2002, 08:07:02 AM
It's sadly the first anniversary of Aaliyah's death tomorrow so I thought i'd start a thread where we can all pay our respects to this fallen 'angel'. She was an amazing talent and she was so young too which makes it even more tragic. I can't believe it's been a year already, it feels like only a few weeks have passed since. Also, lets pay respects to the families and friends of the other people that were involved in the tragic crash. R.I.P.
Here's the eulogy that Aaliyah's brother gave at her funeral, this is especially relevant, i'm sure it sums up alot of our thoughts:
We are here today to celebrate the life and acknowledge the transition into peace of Aaliyah. In addition, we keep in our hearts the eight passengers who not only worked with her but loved her too. Keeth Wallace, Eric Forman, Gina Smith, Luis Morales, Scott Gallin, Doug Kratz, Christopher Maldonado, and Anthony Dodd.
As we live each day on this earth, we write a chapter in the book of our lives. It is a book filled with stories of happiness, laughter, adventure, danger, sadness, joy, pain, and love. Every person that smiles at us as they pass us by on the street; each is important in creating the myriad of memories that make us who we are, I believe that time exists so that we may pinpoint each one of those memories in our book of life. When the time comes for our book to be finished, we can go back and re-experience any moment that we wish to for however long we desire. God has decided that Aaliyah's book is done, and now she can sit by his side and enjoy flipping through the pages of her life and finally learn the meaning of the mystery we are all still living here on earth.
Aaliyah was my little sister, my best friend, my hero, my perfect love. I knew all her little secrets and she knew all of mine. Whenever I was lost or felt there was no way out, she was there to take my hand and guide me through. What made her so special was that although she was a star, when you met her she made you feel like a star. Babygirl, I will see your smile in every sunrise and feel the warmth of your touch in its rays. I will remember how your tears cleansed my soul in every raindrop and your kiss like the wind on my face. When the birds sing I'll hear your angelic voice resonate through the sky. I'll look at the moon and stars and see the twinkle in your eye, I'll walk the earth knowing that you are everywhere. Looking down from heaven, waiting for your big brother to get there. Hold her for me God, Amen.

I think it's because we are about the same age. When I was 14, she was 15 when Back, Back, Forth and Forth came out. So for the longest she was as young as I was when all other people were like 19-30. I related the age, and she was the prettiest female artist to me. So it's like, someone that I related to so well died unexpectly, it kinda like I guess we can die anytime. I related to 2Pac too, but she rapped about death so much it was almost expected. This wasn't, not when she was still rising, and coming into her own in Hollywood. Again, R.I.P.

I thought it was a joke or a rumor til I saw it on the news that night. She didn't even have a chance to show her true potential.
RIP
