Woke up to my alarm at 2:30am last night, sat infront of the TV for the next 3hrs watching the most touching memorial my spirit has ever known. I just choked up with tears at this particular song by Stevie Wonder - Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer...the song has an amazing touch that grips your soul and leaves you feeling every emotion in it. I was just bawling my eyes out til dawn. Paris Jackson you spoke very little my dear, but you spoke volumes for the world to know what a wonderful man your dad was.
For someone to touch so many hearts in every corner of the world and across all cultures , to break all barriers, to create such a massive emotional outburst, to stop the world and leave it feeling so very empty, to create such a hype, a man has to be very very special. Amen.
I never dreamed you'd leave in Summer... ... ...why didn't you stay?

yus .. i am still watching it on cnn.. sometimes i have tears welled up.. i never knew that MJ would one day move me emotionally down.. he did today..
Lets celebrate his life rather than mourn his death.
it was inspiring to see so many people talking about one person...all we can do is try to heal the world
see this
I agree the two sentences Paris spoke was jus like an epic and it broke me in tears too....
I hope MJ gets Peace soon....
and that song was indeed touching...so was 'make the world a better place'....
God bless MJ and give peace to the family...
I saw the memorial service yesterday evening....tears welled up in my eyes when Queen Latifa read out a heart touching poem. i dont hav enuff words to express what i felt. it still hasnt sunk in tht MJ is truly no more...
Another soul consumed by history! RIP MJ
People will come, people will go...it all shall pass...what stays is just memories and our love...but we too shall pass some day,
I can estimate your sense of loss, Keshi....don't be ever so attached...practice detachment as you love deeply,
wishes,
devika
I just saw parts of it coz I had engagements early in the mornoing itself..Felt horrible to see paris micheal addressing the gathering..
MJ will be immortal to his fans through his Music..God Bless him!!
I can so understand ur state of mind right now.. Hugggggggggggzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Love...
Nikhil
well, even though you wrote so little, it is very touching...
i have no words to say....
ahh!...I watched that too..it was very touching..at times like this tears just don't stop..or rather we just dun wanna stop it.
Dunno whether that wud be a right statement...but time heals..but he'd always be a sweet memory in many hearts..even in the midst of everything.
couldn't see entire concert, just saw few clip, it was way too good.
Stevie is no doubt one of the best there is.
RIP MJ!!

You said it!
Paris Jackson did speak little but it was so overwhelming to see a 11 yr old meet eyes with thousands there & speak about her father , the one who is a legend to all the others.
All his kids are so lovely :)
Here summer is too damn hot, a lot of people leave until things cool off in October or November. 114 yesterday!!
May his soul rest in peace !!
Amen..
I knew I would be sad if I watched it... So I dint watch it... But couldn't help myself from getting frequent updates from CNN.com
i loved the part wen they wr singing his fav songs, "Smile"....
Hugzzz Keshi...
Very true keshi! Not everybody is on world’s view and reach everyone with music, like an air. hugs
Hi Keshi
I managed not to cry until Paris spoke. She said more in a few words, than was said through the whole memorial.
It took a child to sum up what life is truly about.
I have have a post up now as my final tribute to MJ. It will be my last words on the subject. I'm must move on.

I was watching too and I'm still watching.
Somebody said -
"God wanted Michael more".
Thank you Keshi for this post!
Hugsss
Great post Keshi. I still think of sudden death of MJ as a joke or like a dream.
Tarun is right, the time for mourning is over. Michael should be celebrated for his works with us taking up the causes he worked for.
IMHO, the sweet little words of a little girl missing her daddy said it the best
Oh! You have no idea how much it killed me. It killed me when paris spoke up. It killed me when his family member sang ''smile even tho' your heart is achin''. It killed me every moment thinking : is he really gone?!
I was watching his documentary the pr-disaster and OMG! I had tears in my eyes. Even the ones who hate will change their opinion. He was an excellent human being [so calm and peaceful]. He had the voice of a child. He was an amazing father! He loved his children and the kids [I want to slap the people who think it otherwise]
When the interviewer asked him : if he wanted to be buried in a golden coffin, when michael was looking at one in a store in Vegas, he replied : he would like to ''live'' forever.
Oh, the irony that after 6 years he started living forever. :)
I love MJ! No words or emotions can bring him back but his songs have engraved his image onto my heart.
I miss him. I really do..
we are still grieving for the King :(
ammu.
wow.. juz got over with it on tv..:(
let's keep his legacy and music alive dear..
mourning will make him disappointed with his fans...:(
let's move on with his music..:)
Live on MJ!
i never really grew up with MJ's songs... i never really was his ardent fans...but i admired him for who he was and what he stood for... and his memorial was really touched and it moved me to tears... :(
These are really wonderful words .. touched me !
awwwwwaa, so touchy post. I pray to god that he gives you enough strength to continue your life, after such a terrible lose.
But on a serious note, get over it, will you!!!!! and comeup with a nice Keshi Style post, enough of MJ and emotions. Dont make him look down from there and curse you. He would like to read a good blog post from you.( hope you wont take it anyother way, was just kidding) :)))
hey babes havent seen the memorial yet but am gonna check it out on youtube right away.....
and the great thing was every time one of them recited one of those stories or instances of MJ it all washed up again...the tears in the eyes n the smiles on the lips:(
Keshi,
It is time now to spread his way of making people happy, that is by his music.
Take care
it took an eleven year old girl to show the world what he really was and children never lie
Thats a nice poem by stevie wonder... Captures the feelings aptly...
Got a chance to listen to his old songs. My partner also seems to be affected by the sorrow...
may mj's soul rest in peace..
Micheal's memorial was nothing short of amazing. I loved every tear that fell down my face.. He is someone that knocked down so many barriers that the world had up!!
He gave all he could give and then still gave more..
He will always be remembered!
Ne
Sighh!Keshi,your tributes to MJ are as touching!
TC.
Where shalt thou be?
Well to simply put it ...
Reasons to frown are many.
reasons to smile are few.
tears and smiles are equally infectious. :)
*Smile* flashes a light bulb
RIP MJ!!!
tnxx each n everyone for ur heartfelt comments here!
I hope MJ found Peace and Love, finally.
It just goes to show that we must take extra care to love ppl while they r here.
Keshi.
*hugs*
i saw it and cried through it. I had no words to say, else they would have been on my blog by now. I still don't have words. That man was too beautiful for mere words to describe him :(
i really hope that MJ finds his peace.. in death, if not in life.
tnxx Sunshine girl n Raysh!
*HUGZ*
Keshi.
