No, it's not supposed to happen like this. My daughter is one year older than
Aliyah is. There's a mixture of joy that she was able to do what she loved,
and sadness that her life was cut so short in such a gruesome way. I think
many of us felt like she should have more time to be here on this earth. She
was right on the verge of superstardom. Aliyah was scheduled to appear in
sequels 2 and 3 of the Matrix. I feel the same sadness for Buddy Holly and
Richie Valens. If I am not mistaken, they were at the same point in their
careers as well. I know there is a reason for everything. I will just have to
have faith that one day, I will have the wisdom to know.
