A fantastic memorial .....

as I was getting the school children's folders up to date last night, I decided to watch the Michael Jackson memorial! It was very good even though some of the guests did waffle on a bit! I managed to hold it all together until Paris said her farewell to her dad, my heart broke for her and her brothers and my tears fell, by the time they carried his coffin out I was a mess! I still can't believe that I was watching MJ's memorial service and that he won't be ever performing live again and there will be no new songs, videos, appearances, etc!!!!

RIP MJ

as your song states, you are defiantly "GONE TOO SOON"!!!!!

What a sad, sad day for me and a whole lot of other people ....

Michael Jackson has died at the age of only 50. MJ was such a huge part of my growing up. After all he did nearly spend 45 years in the music business. I don't think there is a person alive today who doesn't know who MJ is, either love him or hate him. I was able to go his Bad concert in Cork, Ireland and then his Dangerous concert in Dublin. I LOVED his music, his energy, his imagination, etc For most of my teens and early twenties I was defending him against family and friends who called him a freak, I used to get really wound up .....

I used to have my bedroom wall covered with his posters, I had 4 scrapbooks (the old children's ones) full of his pictures, wrote his song words in there, decorated the edges with the usual teenage doodles. I have headbands, tee-shirts, badges, Cd's, books etc

I heard it last night on a news channel and I am still waiting to hear that it was just a horrible, horrible rumour some mean spirited person put about. I am in deep, deep shock.

I feel for his family and his young family!!!

RIP MJ you will never be forgotten ........
