I know he wasn't exactly the picture of health or sanity these past few years, but I am truly shocked about the passing of Michael Jackson.
He was my first love. I can remember being a tiny little girl watching Thriller
premiere and being scared and running upstairs, but then coming back down and watching it again (MTV played it twice in a row).

I loved him so much I had a Michael Jackson cake for my 3rd birthday. I even kissed the cake. I had
MJ posters on my wall and a
MJ barbie doll complete with only one glove.
I can't say I was a die-hard fan much past the age of 6, but it's still sad to lose such a musical icon at such a long age. I know he has been troubled, but I hope he is remembered for his music and not for the drama.
