Last Farewell to MJ



Add Image
I was watching the memorial for Michael Jackson today and realized I had more emotions to express about this man and what he meant to me. 

Wyatt, you looked up at the TV when they started showing clips from different performances and music videos.  All of a sudden I got this vision of me and your Aunt Kari when we were little sitting in front of the TV watching Michael's music videos- over and over and over! I think we recorded them on a VHS tape so we could sing and dance and try to re-enact them. I remember my mom dancing and exercising with us to his music. I can picture the cassette tape of BAD that we had. I guess I just got flooded with memories and realized I didn't express them to you. I wish I could thank Michael Jackson for creating them. I'm sure he did that for millions of people around the world which is why one day you will know of him. 

I feel a little bad saying he was strange because no one really knows what it was like to be him. I guess if I was a millionaire I might have bought a chimp and named him Bubbles too! Well, I hope you got some insight into what MJ did for my generation. Once again, rest in peace Michael Jackson. I will never forget those memories. PS- Wyatt, I made you dance with me today to two of my favorite songs to honor him- you had fun :)  Love Mom
