Okay - tonight is not a good night for me guys.... My Mom is ill, my close friend's Mom passed away....And....
Michael Jackson died today...I know this has absolutely ziltch to do with this course, but I cannot think straight right now. I just can't. I grew up with Michael Jackson. Despite the bad press he has received over the years.
So I blew the dust off my old MJ CDs and I am sitting here reminiscing -- wishing I had a cigarette and I don't even smoke! :) I remember more good things about MJ that outweighed bad. I remember the family cookouts with his music and the drunk uncle who didn't know the lyrics or dance steps (but thought he did -- lol). I remember learning how to do the Moon Walk and anticipating the debut of "The Thriller" video. So many memories.
I am also sitting here remembering my close friend's Mom. It is sad when your parents leave this earth. I cannot imagine. I just can't. I mean -- I know we are not supposed to be here forever, right? But who prepares us when our love ones are gone? I am still not ready. I worry about my Mom. She is not doing too well..Especially today. Mom -- I am sorry you are not well right now. I love you and I will be home soon.
Okay...I am getting misty-eyed. Such a sad time right now. My grandmother used to say, death happens in 3s. Has anyone else ever heard of this? This week three to four deaths -- Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now MJ, and my friend's mother.
I will log back in tomorrow and try to type something about the course so that I can get credit from Dr. Wang. Right now, I am too sad....

I hate to hear about your mom. I know what you mean about deaths come in threes. Unfortunately for me, my first year teaching I lost 5 family members. three were one every week. I lost it!!!! The last one was my cousin who had just turned 16 and was the second suicide at his school that year.
ReplyDeleteThat was the worst year ever!!!. Even though I am young, I can still remember some GREAT Michael Jackson songs too.
Hello Kala! Thank you so very much for your kind words. Oh my goodness! Five family members? Wow. I would not be able to function. And the death of your cousin was very sudden and not expected. Those are the worst, you know? ((hugs)). I concur! This year has been terrible for so many of us. Talk to you soon and thanks so much for dropping by.
