There was still many people gathered and music being played. Like everyone, when I first heard I was shocked and saddened. Like I said yesterday, he was my first crush. What I was not prepared for was how upset my DD would be over the news. I mean she's a whole generation behind me. How can this be? Well, she was almost inconsolable. My good friend, her God mother, who was also a HUGE fan eventually got her smiling with stories of how the two of us once dressed in our Thriller outfits to go out to the movies and we thought we were soooo cool. I had not shared that with the DD:)
In the end the DD and I got out of the car as my DH double parked. We signed the makeshift memorial cardboard to say our own goodbyes and thanks to Michael for giving us music and memories that touched both our hearts.
Best,
Kwana

I am not sure it's really hit me yet. It feels too surreal. In Portland they were playing his music at a pizza place we were having dinner at today. So sad.
Losing both Farrah and Michael is both sad and surreal. They were such a part of growing up, weren't they?
It is such a loss, he was such an icon of our generation. Way too young to pass.
Very tragic and sad. It's hard not to tear up watching his videos.
I took this pretty hard myself...I just cant get over it.
What a great memorial at the Apollo, and you are lucky to have gotten there with your daughter.
I was shocked as well. My father told me and I couldn't believe. It's such a horrible loss for the world.
NYC knows how to do it, huh? Michael's death is has opened up some discussion here at home about the joys, pains and sheer complexity of humanity. Great pictures.
That was shocking and sad news. Michael Jackson was a legend and his music legacy will live on. I feel very bad for his children.
Thank you all for stopping by and sharing you feelings with me. It's amazing how MJ touched so many people in so many ways.
Isn't it all so surreal?
I'm hope your DD is doing OK. How nice that you were able to stop by the Apollo & sign a tribute to him.
