The last week was filled with sad celebrity loses. As the generations ahead of us starts to pass away, it brings one's own mortality into perspective.
The passing of Ed McMahon wasn't a huge shock. He was an elderly man. His mark on Hollywood no doubt with always be synonymous with Johnny Carson and the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. He was a television icon....
Farrah Fawcett's death was very sad. She had such a tough battle against the cancer that ultimately took her life. She was brave, and an inspiration for anyone who has adversity in their' lives. I can remember wanting to have my hair cut like her's in the late 70's, and didn't miss an episode of Charlie's Angels. No doubt the void her family feels is deep.....but her legacy of grace and courage will be an inspiration to the world....
The death of Michael Jackson was the biggest shock of all. The controversy surrounding what caused his death is still thick within the news. I can remember listening to and watching the Jackson 5's music during my early childhood. The son "Ben" always made me cry, even though I'd never seen Willard....In the late 70's and early 80's Michael's music was such a huge part of my life. If it wasn't during times with friends, it was at dances.....and the ground breaking MTV station....He certainly was the King of Pop....and someone that I will always be a part of my personal history book.....
Thoughts of the day: June is coming to a close; heading back to work soon; the continuous news reports "speculating" on Michael Jackson's death; 4th of July; being able to exercise again; my upcoming "girl's weekend"; appreciation for Walt's love and care.
