Memories

What a day. I was saddened by the news of the deaths of Farrah and Michael.
I grew up listening to the Jackson Five. I had all of their records (45's remember those?) It was terrible how Michael's life took such a downward turn. So much talent! What a waste.
As for Farrah, I thought she was adorable, but kind of lost interest in her after she left Charlie's Angels. I've always loved her hair and pretty much wore mine like that through much of the 80's. I know millions of others did the same. Not long ago, I was channel surfing and ran across "Farrah's Story". I normally don't watch things like that, but something made me stay with it. I'm glad I did. She had such grace and dignity, not to mention a sense of humor. I appreciated what she was doing. Letting the world in to see her in her final days, so sick, took great courage. We all know how the tabloids tear into people. I think she got the jump on them by doing the documentary on her battle with the cancer. I hope it will help others in their struggles with terminal illness.
My prayers go out to Farrah and Michael's families. No matter what we think of them, they were some one's baby and deserve a respectful time to mourn. May God bless them all.
