For All Time

Aaliyah's Diary-18

Dear Journal,

I finally got myself to read and look at all those things that my mother left for me. After eight weeks, I finally read it., and just like my mother said It did answer all the questions I had.I found out that She was born in Brooklyn the same State I was born in. She stayed there until she seventeen and she and her mother moved to California. She was discovered at this club where she sang the blues. She never liked the fist album she did yet it sold over one hundred million copies. Her second album she loved and sold more then the first She Went on her first world tour when she only twenty one years old. She met Rashad's at a bar and fell in love with him in an instant. The married after two years of dating and two months later had Rashad. It turns out that his father wasn't always a bad man. He didn't really start getting abusive until he was diagnosed with cancer and she assumed that he put all his anger off on him. I wonder if he's still alive. Anyways, My father Anthony turned out to be her best friend and while she was hurting he took care of her. And somewhere in between then they fell in love and that's how came along. I always thought he was the reason why she was dead because they had a bad argument the day before she died and I thought that was why she crying so much. But I was wrong about that. I learned that my mother had a wonderful life she really did, she just had her rough time and I know that God had called her on home for a reason. I thing I'm sure about is she looking down smiling at me, and she's proud of me, and Rashad to. She had some brilliant kids who really knows how to get down with the things that they do. That's Right, We Get Down, For Real.
