How Do We Say Goodbye?


With a touching ceremony befitting a king. The world gathered today to pay respects to the King of Pop. It was a moving celebration with the Jackson family displaying an open-ness so rarely seen. Differences aside, the world came together today to celebrate and mourn the life of Michael Jackson. Even the most hardened were choked up when MJ's young daughter proclaimed her love for her father.



What an amazing young lady-1 of the 1st in the family to come to her feet when Rev. Al Sharpton proclaimed, "I want his children to know there was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what your daddy had to deal with." We can only imagine the type of unorthodox life Michael and his children led. What was clear though, was the love this family had for their father, son, uncle, cousin, nephew, etc.


Michael was the 1st and I dare say, the only celebrity, who will ever have such a dramatic impact on me. My heart and prayers go out to his 3 children and his entire family. I and the world cried along with you today.

The World Celebrates MJ

Websites, tv channels, radio stations, all paying their respects to the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson. I haven't seen anything like it since the passing of Princess Diana. With all the civil/political unrest that is going on in the world, it's nice to see that the world can come together to mourn and celebrate the life of MJ.

For me, his passing is surreal. Major figures have passed while Ive been on this Earth, but none had touched me like MJ did. I am a fan of dance and music and have danced since the tender age of 3, so for me Michael was a god. I was awed by him and his talent. I still am. I always will be.

King of Pop Bows Out..



The world is in shock! Odd personal life aside, he was a musical genius. He spanned the ages; I'm a fan, older friends are fans, the parental units are fans, younger friends are fans...Almost all of us have a favorite MJ song. Some of the best "time of my life" moments occurred dancing away to an MJ song. I shall miss him, as I know millions more will as well.
