Michael Jackson was a complex man to say the least. Most agreed that he was a lonely soul, someone in constant search of a pure, unconditional love. A love that was perhaps unintentionally lost in his childhood, a childhood which was full of so many demands and expectations from him.
He was both beloved and accused in his life, a life that ultimately became filled with spectacle and controversy.
Regardless of what you may or may not think of Michael Jackson or how you feel about him, the one thing that none of us can not take away from him is his legacy of music, song, and dance that he left behind. For simply that, the King of Pop will be missed.
I invite you to view the photo gallery below and leave any comments and/or Michael Jackson memories or stories you may have about him. Thank you.

The album 'Off The Wall' has been often acclaimed by critics and fans as Michael's most perfect album.
The 'Thriller' album is my personal favorite. It is connected to many happy childhood memories for me.
Whose Bad!
Many friends of Michael have described him as a gentle soul.
Michael was also described as a fierce performer!
Where It all began: The Jackson Five
The Jackson 5 are often referred to as the original "boy band."

I can’t imagine that it’s been a year since he die. I’m still sad.

❤ ed his music! His voice links me to my parents generation as well as my own. I still remember my entire family (cousins, uncles grandparents) crowding into our little loft in our condo when I was 7 or eight to see Thriller. Or last year being stunned while watching news that Farrah Faucett had lost her battle with cancer and it being interrupted by the new of Michael. I pray that their souls are in a better place and know that their legacies live on in all those that loved them and appreciated them not only for their crafts but the good they did for others in their lives.

Thank you for reminding us about Farrah whose death was also a great loss to the entertainment industry. Thanks for sharing your story too.
