You can’t help but be spellbound.  I didn’t follow Michael Jackson’s life for the most part but I always did enjoy his music and loved watching his movements on the TV.  He was an entertainer who did entrance his audience.

His recent passing has caught the world over with the suddeness of how it happened and at such a young age too. He was around 2 years younger than I am.

I guess because we experienced our own immediate family loss not that long ago and then the son of a cousin less than two weeks ago, watching the Jackson family during the memorial service really touched my heart and emotions.  I could feel what they were feeling and I know what they will be going through for the next few months and year.  It is hard to believe how quickly and suddenly such a thing can happen.

A friend of mine from the Baby Boomer Divas has put together a wonderful slideshow about Michael’s service and I invite you to go watch and listen.
