Michael Jackson Memorial Service - July 7, 2009

[romyra]

Currently at 7.51 pm on July 7, 2009, I am crying like a baby watching the highlights from today's service. I held everything in at work while I watched the stream on ABCnews but as I was washing dishes tonight it really hit me that he is gone. Michael Jackson is dead and gone and now buried and the world is all the more darker.

I've been fine for the last two weeks but today finally drove the point home.

Rest in Peace Michael and wherever in the wild yonder you may roam, may you always be remembered as an Entertainer, Philanthropist and a kind and loving human being.

Love you forever.

In Memoriam:-

No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Author: Hermann Broch

Those who focused on the shock of shards as the phoenix bird burst from his shell nearly missed the sight of his wondrous maiden flight as he soared up and away and out of sight.
Author: Saiom Shriver

Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Author: Bhagavad Gita

Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.
Author: Vladimir Nobokov

There is no death! What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian, whose portal we call Death.
Author: Henry W. Longfellow

Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Author: Charles Caleb Colton

To be in a world which is a hell, to be of that world and neither to believe in or guess at anything but that world is not merely hell but the only possible damnation: the act of a man damning himself. It may be -- I hope it is -- redemption to guess and perhaps perceive that the universe, the hell which we see for all its beauty, vastness, majesty, is only part of a whole which is quite unimaginable.
Author: William Golding

I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven.
Author: Tupac Shakur

Because I could not stop for death He kindly stopped for me The carriage held but just ourselves And immortaility.
Author: Emily Dickinson

When he shall die Take him and cut him in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Author: William Shakespeare

Au Revoir MJ.

Awwww. Sweetie! ♥

All those quotes are interesting, but the hermann broch one is really eye opening. I think it's very true.

Thanks. I just am going to miss him. I mean I didn't know him but as Queen Latifah said his music made you felt as though he was in the room singing to you and now we'll never know what more may have been.

I didn't know him either. I was just watching the "Bad" video and I recognized just how unique and talented he was. So much of what we take for granted in music today originated with him.
