I am so sure that THOUSANDS upon thousands of blogs are a buzz with tributes of The King of Pop. I felt compelled to write a few words about Michael Joseph Jackson.
Yesterday(I wrote this Friday) was just a whirlwind trying to get the house presentable for Jordan's grandparents. I was actually lucky enough to enjoy a nap, lie down for a minute during the day of cleaning. I got online, and saw the breaking news. "Michael Jackson, The King of Pop dead at 50." I said, who? Not Michael Jackson. I try to be a good girl, and not call my mom at work unless it's an emergency! And this was one. I called her and was like Mom, Michael Jackson is DEAD. We were both in shock. I let her get ready to leave work(I called her at 3:35, and she leaves work right at 4)and I became CNN,ABC,NBC,CBS,HNL....EVERY network at once. I was flipping channels, looking at breaking news....checking my twitter EVERYTHING! And it was true. My first real crush had died. I was shaking, sad, broken, hurt just all these emotions at once. I cried. And then I said, I have company coming am I loosing my mind?? I probably did. Last night wasn't bad, Gramdma and Grandpa Hunter were pretty tired, so we chatted only a little while and I had things to do. Babies to bathe and get to bed.

I stayed up late last night, being selfish, loathing in my sadness and grief just thinking to my self "Michael Jackson is gone!" Then I started thinking back on all my Michael Jackson milestones. The World Premiere of Bad when I was 4; the best night of watching Black or White 4 times in a row when I was 7. I had his poster on my wall. I would come home from school and watch Moonwalker....the WHOLE thing. I can't begin to describe the love I have for Michael Jackson. When I was 8 my mom made me a locket with our pictures in it. And she was even nice enough to put a young picture of Michael Jackson. I mean really, that's just amazing. I spent hours listening to his music. I would look at his pictures. I would daydream I was with him, listening to him create his music. Every video premiere I was at home, in front of the tv. Thinking back I have know idea how we would have gotten married. He's 6 months older than my mom. There's 25 years between my Momma and I, how would I have married him? I was never heartbroken when he married Lisa Marie and Ms. Debbie Rowe. But still, I was fervent I was going to marry Michael Jackson. I love Michael Jackson so much. I cried when they show him being escorted after being arrested in 2005. It hurt so much to see him like that. I cried on the couch. Ouch.
But this is a Celebrate(yes the world is Celebration but follow me here!)I love Mike and I know he's out of pain and able to dance and know how much we love him and know that he's magic to us! You are Magic Michael Jackson....I do love you.
