I find I get sadder by his passing every day. It hits me a little bit more every day. He was such a huge part of my childhood. There can never be enough Michael posts. I don't even know if I'm done posting them yet on my LJ.
Man in the Mirror is LOVE. It's one of my top five favourite Michael songs. It was so personal for him, you can just tell. It's incredible.
My heart aches thinking about how sad and isolating a lot of his life must have been. I didn't watch the whole memorial. I was at work but, even if I wasn't, I don't think I could have been able to watch the whole thing. Too sad. I always struggle when watching people grieve. It might be because I'm so private when I grieve myself. Plus, some people were so cruel to him it breaks my heart.
Marlon's speech, Paris's tears and Jermaine singing "Smile" were the moments that did me in. RIP Michael. We all love you, we all miss you, you talented and generous man.
