} Fragility of Life  

When some people pass on, it's just expected. Even though you're not ever truly ready for it, you just are - if that makes any sense.

Then there are the tragic random deaths, like the two we're experiencing today.

Today we lost the lovely Farrah Fawcett - I watched Farrah's Story awhile ago; her story had me bawling of course; and it made me ashamed about all the whining I do. Talk about getting a serious reality check.
Her battle with cancer was indeed humbling; but her strength throughout it all, awe-inspiring.

Now for Michael Jackson...

Truly unexpected.

Just like his other fans, I'm at a complete loss for words. As I'm trying to type this, my mind still hasn't quite wrapped around the fact that he's gone. For good.
I mean, I'm half-expecting Michael Jackson to just jump up and go,"Hah! Gotcha! JUUUUST KIDDING!!" (okay, so that would be quite a cruel joke, but you get what I mean)

*sigh*
I don't have much more to say really. While I'm saddened that he's passed on, I'm also relieved that he's finally in a better place.

I don't care what people said/thought about him - My opinion throughout the years has been that, you will never know what truly happened.
The bottomline is, the man was and always will be a musical genius, and a true humanitarian.

I hope his children got that one last extra special kiss and hug from him, and an "I love you very much".
I pray that his children will be in good hands.

It's deaths like these that remind us of how fragile Life is.

May Farrah and Michael's souls rest in peace.
