Today was the memorial service for Michael Jackson. I bawled for a good two hours. It was filled with many touching speeches and performances by Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Brooke Shields, Usher, Lionel Ritchie, Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson and many more. What really got my tears flowing though, was when Michael's daughter, Paris, just 11 years old, got up and spoke. She said he was "the best father you could ever imagine." I think that was the most touching moment of the whole memorial. It was so sad to watch the service, but it was definitely a must. It is history, and will be talked about and remembered for the rest of my life and beyond, I'm sure. If you missed the memorial you can click here for some of the video.
