Bobbi Kristina Brown's death continues the family's tragedy just over three years after Whitney Houston passed away.11/2/2012, Whitney was found dead in a bathtub in a Los Angeles hotel after a drug overdose. Houston's family members can only console themselves that Kristina is finally at peace in God's arms and will be reunited with her mother Whitney Houston.
A few words about Kristina's short and eventful 22-year life, Bobbi Kristina was born on March 4, 1993 and grew up in the halo of her mother's great fame. The singer of "I Will Always Love You" once shared: "It's different when you become a mother, it changes your life. I don't live for myself anymore, I live for my child". When Bobbi was 1 year old, her mother carried her onto the stage to receive the 1994 American Music Award. During her childhood, Whitney's daughter continued to be the center of attention when she often appeared with her parents at large and small events.
However, her happy days did not last long as her childhood was filled with smoke: both her parents were said to be heavy drug addicts. There were even times when diva Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown openly smoked cocaine in front of their daughter. The late singer Whitney Houston's singing career also began to decline. By 1997, Whitney Houston and her husband divorced, leaving 14-year-old Bobbi to live with her mother. A year later, Whitney Houston's only daughter was rumored to have been hospitalized for mental illness after attempting to stab her mother and cut her wrists to commit suicide. When Bobbi was 18, the National Enquirer published a photo of her snorting a white powdery substance believed to be drugs, which she denied.
But the tragedy was not over yet, in 2012, diva Whitney Houston was found comatose in a hotel bathtub. The three causes of the diva's death were determined to be drowning, recurrent heart disease and cocaine use. The passing of her mother completely devastated 19-year-old Bobbi. She fainted and had to be hospitalized for observation when she heard the bad news. Despite the pain, Bobbi still dreamed of following in her mother's footsteps: "She spent the past year writing and singing new songs and often made short videos of herself singing by the pool every afternoon. Bobbi didn't want to be known only as Whitney Houston's daughter but also as herself. She wanted to make her mother proud," a close friend of Bobbi shared.
Fans around the world are expressing their deep condolences to the Houston family. Many colleagues and friends of the late diva also sent messages of condolence to Bobbi Kristina's family. Stars Vivica A. Fox, Holly Robinson Peete, Dulé Hill... all had words of comfort for both Bobbi Kristina and the Bobbi Brown family. Others also sent the message "Rest in Peace" to Kristina.
