The Innocence of a Child's Heart

The magic, the wonder, the mystery, and the innocence of a child's heart, 
are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world. I really believe that!
[Michael Jackson, 1993]





Imagine being a child raised by Michael.  Nurtured, loved, and taught by him, how to behave, how to treat people, how to express who you really are.  Wouldn't we all want this for ourselves?  Well, this gift was given to three children, who now are having to use the lessons learned from their father to handle life.  Not the average lives of children today, but their life, which is anything but normal right now, in spite of all Michael's efforts to ensure that they had a normal childhood.  Everyone who knows them says they are great kids.  We have seen it ourselves in their limited public appearances over the last three years.  Maybe it takes a child to expose the truth that adults can not admit.  


I love Michael with all my heart and soul, and I love his children too, because he did.  I have a fourteen year old daughter, and I know how wise beyond their years teenagers really are.  Maybe we should respect them, and listen to them.  If we listen to Paris, she says she wants to talk to her grandmother and is not being allowed to.  To me, that is all I need to know, to know that something is very wrong, and it has nothing to do with love for Michael.  In fact, it can only be a lack of love that separates children from their guardian who loves them.  Let's stop pretending that this family is normal.  Being related does not mean that they have each other's best interest at heart.  Sometimes I wish that Michael had nothing, so that his family would have nothing to gain from him and his children anymore.  Maybe then they could live a normal life.


Katherine has always been a strong person, and her devotion to all of her children has been important to her.  I hope she is strong enough now to do what is best for her grandchildren.

I think she will do just fine. She's got her faith that keeps her going. I just hope the children will be fine.

Even after everything, if I allow my-self to give the "family" a benefit of doubt that may be just may be...they know something that is so criminal about the MJ estate but then what is the excuse of taking the only guardian and loving figure from the 3 children of their "beloved" brother! And not allowing even a phone call?

This is truly baffling and although I am a bit worried about Paris's twitter exposure but I am glad she is strong...Michael said that long ago!

I hope this crisis is resolved quickly and life returns to normal for these children and Katherine.
