With the Angels

Wow, what a week. I have so many things to be thankful for! This week has been a lot of fun and I am also now even more grateful for life and the time that I am able to share with the people I love. Today has become a day that will be marked in History, remembered for its impact on Entertainment & Popular Culture. Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning at age 62 after battling with cancer for more than 2 years. She was a goddess in the 70's and as years went on she continued to draw people to her with her smile and caring nature. It is now confirmed that Michael Jackson - MICHAEL JACKSON! has passed away of cardiac arrest at age 50. Paramedics rushed to his Holmby Hills home about 1230pm and found Mr. Jackson unconscious not breathing. As expected, the media is swarming around UCLA Medical Center where he was taken by ambulance and no doubt surrounding the streets near his parents' home in Encino. One could discuss Jackson in so many different aspects, especially over the years as events took place, judgements and speculations occured, and jokes were made. As the weeks go on and stories are told, events recalled upon, we must remember that the main reason the world came to know this person is because of his talent, creativity, desire for love. What people do with their lives, personally, most of us will really not ever come to know. People make good and bad choices constantly. We are all human, struggling to live life the best way we know how with the tools we are provided with by our parents and environment. "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives" ( I took this quote from a photo at Dodger Stadium, not sure the origin). When anyone passes away it is a reminder to live the best life you can everyday that you are given. We do not know for certain how long we have here on Earth; the desicion you just made - the words you just spoke could be the last memory someone has of you. Rest in Peace to all of those who have passed away but even more so, good wishes for all of us who are still trying to find the right path through this life. May we all be driven to make the best choices for ourselves and those around us.
