Death of a legend

I was sad to hear the news about Michael Jackson today. I’ve grown up having him around and it’s going to be strange now that he is gone.

I’ve heard lots of people describing how he had a tortured life but I tend to think a little differently. I think he had quite a lot of happiness and success in his life.

We all have things that we wish were different. Things that have gone wrong or where others have treated us badly. Some of us have to face much tougher times than others but that should never be an excuse for giving up or letting your life collapse into something tortured and sad.

I’ve sign Michael smile and laugh on more than one occasion - in fact I guess most of the time he has come across that way. His friends always talk very highly of him - people who are miserable and sad tend not to have too many friends.

Of course his death was full of drama just like the rest of his life.

He was a very gifted musician who found satisfaction when he was on the stage. He got to realise his own dream.

Now the problems are passed and I hope he has found peace.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
