RIP, MJ

A troubled man has, perhaps, finally found some peace. My sisters and I were fans of Michael Jackson (and of all the Jacksons) when we were young. So, I was saddened to hear of his death today.

Here's a photo of a young Michael before whatever demons plagued him took the best of him and sent him in a dreadful downward spiral. As disturbing as some of the more recent images of him were, behind all of that there was a troubled human being who was suffering. I hope he is at peace now.

I too grew up listening to his music. He was so talented. This is really sad news.

He had a lot of talent but was definitely a troubled soul. Sad news, yes.

May Michael's soul be held gently in the hands of the Lord.

Susie, it made me sad, too.

Daisy, he was very troubled. Sometimes I think that great talent takes its toll on those who are gifted by it.

TC, like you, I wasn't a fan recently. But there was this innocent little boy, once...

Marydon, I heard about that paint offer but didn't have a link - thank you. :)
