MJ, it’s just you.

Right now, my thoughts are mostly on the late michael jackson, —i hate addressing him this way— and his tribute.
It was touching, and soulful. it ate to the core of my person.
when the lady from the house of state, i think it was Ms. Jackson-Lee, presented MJ with Resolution 600, I was close to breaking down. I was thrilled to know that MJ had contributed so much of his professional life to the world, but saddened by the fact that he will never know it.

However, MJ wouldnt have minded. He gave and gave without the need for anything back.
While researching on Resolution 600, i was in awe of the impact that MJ made in these people’s lifes. MJ truly made the world a better place.

Brooke Shields’ eulogy was equally touching, and personal. In the very moment that she took to the rostrum, she shook her head to request that the audience not clap for her. I was moved by this very simple act, it shows her character, it shows she knew that MJ was the one who was more deserving.

Add to the fact that MJ had a favourite song, which told of happiness, which told of a universal truth: Smile, and the world smiles with you.

I will always remember Michael Jackson, not for all the tabloids, but for his songs, and his smile. And i hope you do too.
