I watched it live on TV yesterday. The tribute, the songs, the crowds, the memories.
Even though it all happened about five hours away from where I was, it felt as though I was there.
And I drank it all in, while my tears fell freely.
I saw him as a brother when Jermaine Jackson sang “Smile” with so much love and devotion.
I saw him as a friend and confidant when Brooke Shields related how they both shared happy moments together.
I saw him as a real, ordinary person when Magic Johson revealed how they had enjoyed a bucket of KFC together.
I saw him as an icon as Usher poured out his emotions in the song “Gone Too Soon”.
I saw him as a father when his daughter Paris wept as she told the world that he was the best father you can ever imagine.
And I saw the impact he made on the world with all of his efforts, his works and his music.
He is indeed a legend. May he rest in peace.
I think he is more than ever a legend now than he ever would have been. RIP
The Giddy Tigress says: I absolutely agree!
no one can overtake or replace him. RIP
The Giddy Tigress says: Yep.
hmmm… somehow, there was one particular person i think was a bit fake there…
The Giddy Tigress says: Really? Who? Pray tell…. 🙂
