?July 7 will always be remembered as an emotional and sad day worldwide, the day the world said goodbye to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. From as early as 10 am I switched on my television to watch the build-up to the memorial service. As the hours went by, the outpouring of love among the family members, fans, mourners and supporters was overwhelming.
My most memorable moments of the entire memorial service was when Usher sang Gone Too Soon. My eyes were overwhelmed with tears. What a fitting way to pay tribute to the life of a human being whose heart was so full of love and compassion for humankind.
Despite the numerous accusations and rumours about him, his human frailty, his human weakness, Michael managed to survive, and was never daunted by his critics. Michael Jackson's work on Earth has ended but his legacy, his music, will always live on. The King of Pop will live forever in our hearts. Rest in peace.
