We're missing an Angel & Our King of Pop =(

King of Pop & Angel - Gone

There is no way I can't NOT post something about two legends passing, it's major news and certainly worthy of a few words of tribute for these respected entertainers. When I first heard the news that MJ was rushed to the hospital my daughter asked Mommy is he going to die? I was thinking no way and told her oh no honey I sure hope not, then the shocking, sad news flashed "The "King of Pop"- icon legend, 50 yr old Michael Jackson was dead of cardiac arrest". After all on this same day, we just learned that Farrah Fawcett the 1970's icon, lost her courageous battle with cancer - she was my favorite Angel and had the best hair ever, she was beautiful!

After watching a story about Farrah Fawcett on abc's 20/20, it was very sad to watch and hear about her struggle with cancer since 2006, from her longtime romantic partner Ryan O'Neal and Jaclyn Smith, Fellow 'Charlie's Angel. In fact, I learned much more about her then I ever knew, she was very bright and an extremely talented actress and sculptor. There was a documentary that chronicles Fawcett’s fight against cancer called Farrah's Story, which was an uplifting, painful and inspiring - even though I am only half way thru it. May she rest in peace and Ryan find his way without his angel as well as her son.

When a celebrity as big as Michael Jackson dies, the world stands still for a moment. Afterall, this man changed the music world, just as the legendary, Elvis before him had done. He had eccentricities that seemed outside the box from where the world watched, like many that have passed though time and left their incredible marks in history. His "Thriller" album, "Billy Jean" and Bad, they were works of genius in dance and music. His signature style of "moonwalking" the sequined white glove, black loafers, white ankle socks and finally the black fedora made the pop singer an '80s fashion icon. May his soul and spirit rest in peace - we will never forget what he did for music and dance!! I being a huge lover of dance and music, will certainly miss what he would've brought to us if he were able to remain on this earth longer - I had always wished I had a chance to witness his greatness in concert - Janet was the closest I got.

So a few days after our iconic losses, I think back to my own personal losses of those I loved and the battles still to be fought and I've walked away with a new idea and that is to "change" and "get brave"!
