We tend to forget that famous people are also normal human beings with normal everyday lives. I love what she did for her Dad. She made them realize that amidst everything, he was still a good person. .-= Kay´s last blog ..get together at MOA =-.

This was a very sad moment at the ceremony.

I love this post. It is so very true. I do believe that MJ never grew up, his life as a child was so horrible that he spent time as an adult, trying to re-live what he would have as a child.
That raw moment on stage when his daughter spoke, was just heart breaking.
At the end of the day, those children lost the person that they loved the most….

When I first saw that video, the day it happened, I watched it over and over. I gained new respect for MJ, and discovered a new successful side of him. Very sad for the children to lose their dad.

You know, even though he was the Father of All Freak Shows, he was still her father. And the only parent she ever knew. There is now a little girl (and her two brothers) who are fatherless for the rest of their lives. I feel sad for her in that respect. .-= peepnroosmom´s last blog ..La vida loca. =-.

This is the saddest part of the situation...3 kids don't have their father and can't possibly avoid all of the things being said about him. Nice post. Very classy. .-= JennyMac´s last blog ..Scrub a dub dub =-.

By the way, yes it's true I've only gained 5lbs this pregnancy. I just had ultrasound though and baby is right on the mark with his weight. As long as he's safe. I don't know why I haven't gained much weight. My last baby I only gained 15lbs but she came out nice and healthy. :) .-= Virginia´s last blog ..Insomnia Monster Has Got Me =-.

When I was little, I thought all black guys were Michael Jackson and my dad said I would yell out, "there's Michael Jackson!" really loud. They would be so embarrassed. LOL. He was my hero when I was little. It's sad to see him never be satisfied with his looks. It was sad to see his little girl crying. I did see lots of pictures of him with his kids. :) .-= Virginia´s last blog ..Insomnia Monster Has Got Me =-.

I know this sounds hokey, but I think MJ would rejoice at this post. I think all he ever wanted was to make people happy, and that you would "get" that being a great dad would mean even more to him than records would be really validating for him. .-= Mrs4444´s last blog ..MWW: Dog Days of Summer =-.

I felt the same way when I saw little Paris talk about her Daddy.
Michael was for sure a weird person… but he was their loving dad.

So sad that we so often put titles and reputations above the person as a person. No matter how you slice it some children lost a father, parent's lost a son, siblings lost a brother, etc. Hype is just that, hype.

Hugs,
Holly

Amen brother, amen. When I committed to being a father, I tried my best to place them and their mother first before anything else. Still trying to do that, everyday.... .-= Mike´s last blog ..Pick Me… =-.

...I could die in peace and without regrets if my kids consider me the best father you could ever imagine. That wouldn’t be a bad way for my life to end. Truer words were never spoken. I never knew how important that goal is until I became a parent myself. .-= Desert Songbird´s last blog ..Manic Monday - Fountain =-.

I started crying when I saw her crying. It's hard to resist the sadness of a child who has lost a parent – their only real parent. =(
