Saying goodbye to World Icons

Yesterday the World lost a icon. An amazing entertainer who brought millions joy and smiles over decades. However, I am irritated at the people who are know coming out and saying how sad they are about what happened to MJ. His supposed friends, family, colleagues; I think its all crap. MJ has been in hell for many years, criticized, put on trial, health failing, etc. And know you are coming out of your hole saying "he knew that he would die young". Why didn't you say something 14 yrs ago when he said it to ensure that it didn't happen. You want remore or symphay for being vacant or forgiven.

Today on the way to work I was listening to the callers who were saying that they would remember him for the crap he had done and went through. Instead of the songs and entertainment, generosity that he gave over decades of his life. That's completely crap!! MJ is an icon AROUND the world. The entire world is in mourning over this man. He was the first black man on MTV who had a video, paved the way for groups today, he is an entertainer of DECADES. I am not one of those fans who will visit his grave or cry in mourning but I do remember him as a man who loved being on stage and liked his privacy and gave generously. I remember the coverage of him with Ryan White, children who had cancer and he personally gave them a tour of his home, had parties for children who had never had a birthday party let alone gifts. He was a giving man who got caught up in legal matters that we false. I believe that the reasons he had children over his house for sleepovers and parties was that he never had that as a child himself and wanted to relive what he missed. MJ's childhood was taken away at the age of 5 by his father (don't' start getting all bent out of shape, its my OPINION) so I think his Neverland ranch was a way of him never growing up. The mere name Neverland means never grow up which is what he has tried to do for years. It is tragic that a man, a legend, a world icon was taken; regardless what the doctors find he was still taken before his time.

The media fails to realize that he has 3 young children who have just lost their father. Not an entertainer or singer but their FATHER. Someone who protected them the best he could from the outside world, to have them lead what one could only hope a normal life. Gave them the childhood he never had. He was a very soft spoken man who got a lot of crap for not being up front about things. ITS HIS LIFE LET HIM HAVE PRIVACY!!

I hope that he is able to look upon his children as they grow up and his children know that he is not suffering but looking over them.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson you will be missed, and thank you for what you have given and left for future generations.
