passing of michael jackson

michael jackson passed away last june 25, 2009 at the age of 50. found out about it through, where else, facebook. at first i thought it was a joke, but after reading through some other sites, found out it was true. yeah, he was the king of pop. but i didn’t really get why almost everyone was so affected. i wasn’t a big fan. i was thinking maybe his death really didn’t sink in to me yet. and i was right. i was late, as always, and only felt the magnitude of his death after watching his daughter paris break down with her two liner speech, “i just wanted to say, ever since i was born, daddy was the best father you could ever imagine. and i just wanted to say, i love him.. so much.” i watched that clip in the office, and i wanted to cry. i felt so bad for the kids. they turned out great. MJ was probably the best father those three kids will ever have simply because he loved them. i have been youtube-ing for videos of the kids, and find myself thinking what will happen to them. yeah, affected much, but i sincerely hope that the three kids will grow up to become beautiful testaments as to who MJ really was.. first and foremost a father. i hope they don’t separate blanket from paris and prince . those three kids really need to stick together.
