Goodbye, Michael and Farrah

It was a truly sad day when the King of Pop passed away, especially now that there is some controversy on the way he died. Could it really be the result of a bad mixture of his prescribed drugs? Is his doctor liable? I hope that they find closure to the real reason behind his death.

Thank you, Michael for all the inspiration. You gave me strength when I was 12 to get a perm, even though it made me look like a troubled child from the mountains. You gave me the courage to wear a red vest with matching white glove to church when my classmates insisted on wearing white button down long sleeved shirts to First Communion. You gave me the audacity to bust out in a moonwalk during my sister’s cotillion in her debut.

Let’s not forget another inspiring person who also recently passed away – Farrah. Thank you, Farrah, for helping me get through puberty.

May both their souls rest in peace.
