Farewell, Michael.
Not much to say. It was a lovely memorial that showed us who he really was, and not what haters and tabloids claimed he was. His true friends and supporters stepped up in word and song and made us smile and remember not just the musical genius, but the kind man with the family that loved him. His daughter, that little girl made me cry so much. Paris was truly her daddy’s darling and if there was ever any doubt from ANYONE that he wasn’t a phenomenal dad, all you have to do is watch his babies.
In death, just like in life, he was our beloved King and that’s how we, his true fans, are going to remember him.
“Your daddy wasn’t strange — what he had to deal with was strange.”

I watched the memorial service on E! last night. My eyes are still a bit swollen from crying throughout 90% of it. I finally had to drag myself away from it at 10:00, but I’d already seen the important stuff. It’s still so surreal. I was thinking about you when I was watching last night. {{HUGS}}

Of course, I watched it live and just bawled. I woke up crying and I’m really, really down. I just can’t believe that we’ll never see him again (in real time). I’ve been collecting all of the tribute mags and People is coming out with a hardcover that I plan to snatch as well as Rolling Stones. They’re doing 4 different covers. I’m just so stunned and sad. When they brought his casket out, I think the world died a little bit. I just sobbed. What a monumental loss. Sigh.
Thanks, Sistah, for keeping me in mind. <3333

It was beautiful. I was crying at it. I was only able to catch it about 2hours from the end, then watched a bit of the Larry King special. And what Al said… AMEN!
I’m thinking about you and sending you huge hugs. Just wish I had better words to say. Except HE is in Heaven so let those who Claim that he is a vile Sinner choke on that!
*HUGGGGGGSSSSS*

Beautifully written, Kitten. Didn’t know you were a MJ fan like me. Guess we got something else in common, huh? I followed the memorial service live when it was on. Thought it was very beautifully done.
Wuvs you!
PS….check your g-mail, little one.

It was a beautiful memorial service, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried and cried (though I had to watch a rerun of it…). I was happy he had such a great send-off. He’s moonwalking with Jesus now! 😀
What? You don’t think the Lord moonwalks? O.o You know he’s got skillz – just who do you think gave MJ all that talent?!

Lina! I haven’t been to my blog in ages -no damned time!
Wasn’t the memorial nice? Very tasteful, which I think he would have liked. I sobbed and sang -in that order, lol. Wow. I’m really going to miss him. It’s like hunks of childhood is gone now, you know? But yeah, he’s moonwalking with Jesus. 😛 Can you imagine when they start doing that ‘smooth criminal’ lean? LOL.

Nik!
Isn’t it brilliant? I found it on Deviant art. I saw another pencil drawing of him there, and when I watched the memorial, they had it blown up on cloth and people were signing it outside. I was like, “They must be so excited about that.” I know I would be!

MAMMY!!! <333
Yesh, we definitely have MJ in common. I have all his records and videos. 😀 It’s crazy that he isn’t with us anymore; I just never thought he wouldn’t. To me, he was “forever young”, so the fact that he was 50 was just shocking to me in of itself, lol. I watched the memorial live, too, and it was nice. I cried SO much when they brought out the casket. It was that moment that just really hammered home that he was gone. Sigh. He’ll live on, though, as long as he’s loved.
I’m in the middle of mailing you back now. *luvsluvs*

Thanks, Nik. *hugs*
I was so out of it for a while there. It’s funny, I feel like I knew him better than some of my family members, so it just really knocked me on my ass. And yus, Rev. Al, whom I usually ignore, hit it on the head. He wasn’t strange -what he dealt with is strange- and he’ll go down in history as a musical genius no matter what the haterz say.
