I watched the memorial service on TV all afternoon.
I shed quite a few tears, there were very many touching speeches and some performances got to me also. It's unfortunate how his death got him the respect he deserves, even though there are still people out there who do not (jerks)
I'll just share on things that really got to me. Brooke Shields came up on the stage to do speech. She shared all the times she had with MJ and really valued their friendship. I always thought of MJ as a boy trapped inside a man's body because he really didn't get to live his childhood to it's full potential.

"Both of us needed to be adults very early",
and I think that's true. Child stars lose the chance of being a kid. Another that got to me was that Brooke quoted from Le Petit Prince. She said "He was often referred to as the king, but the Michael that i knew always reminded me more of the little prince". She said the famous quote from the fox not the little prince, Brooke, oops..

"Eyes are blind, you have to look with the heart, what is most important is invisible."



I was BALLING at that part Dx I'm mostly upset because I never got to see him in concert... I really wish I could have had that opportunity, it makes it that much harder for me to let go. Whether you liked him or not, nothing can undo all of what he's done to help charities all over the world, to encourage acceptance between all races, and not to mention his fantastic music and dancing. It may be that I have a heart but when I saw his daughter speak for that short moment I've never felt so much sympathy. I believed that he was a great father and that it's unfortunate that people persisted on him being a pedophile. People these days can be such sketch-bags that anything can make you something your not. And besides, he's considered innocent until sentenced so people can shut their mouths, honestly.


My deepest and most sincere condolences to the Jackson family. ♥
