Michael Jackson casket
As I sit and watch the Michael Jackson memorial, my thoughts go to Catherine Jackson. No matter what Michael means to the world, he was just one of her babies. She carried him for 9 months, changed his diapers, took care of him when he was sick, and saw the boy become a man. She was proud of all his accomplishments, and I'm sure felt his pain in the trying times. But through it all, he was simply her son.....not the King of Pop....but Michael. I wonder how much of this memorial she is taking in…..are her eyes focused on the casket that holds her son. A son she will never hold again.
I remember bits and pieces of Samuel’s funeral, but what is burned in my memory is Samuel, lying in a casket. A place he should not be….not before me.
I feel Catherine’s pain right now, because it’s a pain I also share. The pain of losing a son…way too soon.
This is really beautiful. My heart goes out to you and to Catherine. I can't imagine it.
ReplyDeleteI really felt the pain when his daughter spoke. He was her daddy and now he's gone. I'm sure it is equally painful on both sides of that situation. God bless you.
