I was one of the fortunate people to attend Michael Jackson's memorial today in Los Angeles, Staples center. The arena was both somber and celebratory at the same time.
Being with other MJ fans, being in the same building as his parents, siblings and children was heart warming and also very sad. There were several moments from the opening with Mariah Carey singing "I'll be there" to Brook Shields reminiscing about the good old days with her and MJ to the final moment when little Paris spoke of her love for her Daddy (not a dry eye in the house).
Thank you Rebecca for bringing me along, I am grateful and have a special memory that I will always remember.
R.I.P Michael - today brought out some of the best musicians we have, but it reminds me that you will often be imitated, but never duplicated - not even close.
