I just watched the memorial for Michael Jackson and reflected on my life. Hearing the songs and watching the videos over the last week has brought back many memories. My sister and I were military brats, and hearing some of these songs now, is like reliving my life. Remembering where Tia & I was living when certain songs came out. Remembering all the videos and being amazed at the dance moves and how the songs still sound good. Remembering when my sister and I tried to do are own talent show doing the dances & songs from the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson.
Remembering when we were little and my sister wanted to marry him.

I won't be one of those people that say I had every Michael Jackson album and seen MJ in 2 or 3 concerts. I'm just an average American that has never seen him in person, but feels that he was part of my life.

Every song and media event in Michael Jackson's life reminds me of what was going  on in my life when events unfolded. I'm 45 and Michael Jackson and my sister Tia  has always been a part of my life. Though I never met him or seen a concert live I will miss his videos and music. He has always been a part of my life.

I miss you Tia.
I wish the best for his children and hope the press, money hungry people, and the disgruntled friends trying to make a quick buck - stay away.
