A Contemporary

I have had days to reflect on the loss of Michael Jackson. His death has affected me in a profound way. It has made me more thankful for my family. I can't wrap my head around his children -- and the loss that they must be feeling. There is so much trash television about him now; I hope his children are protected from the frenzy that has overtaken the media.

My own feeling of loss is because Michael was a contemporary. Just a few years older than me, he has been a constant. My world has spiraled in so many directions, and through it all -- there was Michael and his music -- and those wonderful, crazy dance steps of his.
