Since learning of Michael Jackson's death earlier this week I have been looking for words to express what I feel. When a celebrity dies it's hard to know what level of grief is appropriate. How do you grieve someone who isn't a personal acquaintance or even someone you ever met in real life? MJ was such an icon that is hard not to feel anything about his passing. His music inspired millions, and his songs were timeless. I am an 80's baby so I can truly say I grew up on Michael Jackson music. I remember trying to do the moonwalk with my sister in our room. Michael was a fashion icon in many ways as well. He was daring and inspired. This man's genius was truly untouchable. His eccentricity in my opinion never detracted from his talent. His talent is what I choose to remember him for. The legacy that is his music will live on.
We lost a lot of good people this week. The tragic Metro accident in DC this week was both shocking and heart breaking. My heart was completely overwhelmed all week with all of the lives lost. It times like this that we remember that life is truly a gift. R.I.P to all the angels whose lives were lost. May your legacy continue to shine on.
