[quote=Anonymous]15:06, your posts on this thread are some of the best that I've ever read on DCUM.  (And I've been a regular here for at least four years.)  Thank you so much for taking the time to put your thoughts into writing for us.

Greatest Love of All is a beautiful song and was a fixture among my friends during my freshman year in college.  In the many years since, whenever I think of Whitney Houston, I think of that song and how powerful it was when I heard it at the funeral of one of those friends the year after we graduated.  I think we loved that song because it made us feel hopeful about the lives we could lead if we really believed in ourselves.  There was something so innocent, so unblemished about that idea as we sang along with Whitney in our dorm rooms.  Sung at the funeral of a 23 year old who would never become the person she was meant to be because she happened to cross the path of a drunk driver one night, the song both inspired me anew and showed just how far reality can fall from our hopeful expectations.[/quote]
