Ezinne I’ve been thinking about this piece the last couple of weeks. I wanted to come back and tell you how beautifully written it is. You describe the place, time and emotions so perfectly.

I still think of Aaliyah too. I wonder if my memory is hazy, or if I’ve mixed things up somehow. But I remember seeing an interview with her a few weeks before she died, where she said something like “none of us know when we will be called home”.

It seemed so prescient. Your piece brought back my own shock and disbelief; how beautiful and strong she seemed to me then, and still now. Thank you for this.
