2009: The Year in Review (Day 1 of 5)

2009:
I LOST
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

Everyone can remember at least one life-changing moment/event in their lives when time stood still. Well, my moment happened to be on June 25, 2009... the day Michael Joseph Jackson was pronounced DEAD.

A girl's first love is one she never forgets.

I can remember the many days of staring up at the ceiling in my room listening to MJ croon and my planning the many different ways I was going to get to him. From learning every note in every song he manufactured to jammin' to the beats, gyrating & worming all over the place, I was a goner. Gosh, I LOVED that man!!!

We have lost many greats this year. It's been tough all around.

• Ted Kennedy- 77
  
• Farrah Fawcett- 62
  
• Walter Cronkite- 92
  
• Patrick Swayze- 57
  
• Bea Arthur- 86
  
• Ricardo Montalban- 88
  
• David Carradine- 72
  
• Natasha Richardson- 45
• and a host of others...........ageless

As I pay tribute to those that have "moved on down the road", I would like to give special THANKS for all that they have shared with us to make us laugh, cry, think, love, and REMEMBER...

Michael, although you were Gone To Soon, you will FOREVER live in my ♥. May you finally rest in peace...
