MY JUNE 25, 2013 #MJ ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MICHAEL JOE JACKSON -MJ R.I.P (1958-2009)
WRITTEN BY Clairon Haynes
On this date four (4) years ago, the world said a shocking good-bye to a father, a brother, a son, a friend, a humanitarian, a musical genius and legend. His stay with us was allegedly cut short at the fatal hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, a Trinidadian American cardiologist who anticipated a gigantic pay check for aiding our beloved Michael to have his comfortable night rest after he suffered from sleep deprivation.
We've watched his movie-premiere like memorial and semi private burial vicariously through the television screen and cried our eyes and heart out as we mourned his sudden passing. As we go down memory lane we saw the then little Paris Jackson, his precious daughter deeply distraught and saddened as she delivered her brief farewell speech at the memorial before millions of us who saw her face for the very first time after being concealed all her life while appearing in public with her loving dad.
His fans affectionately known as MJFAM were devastated by this great loss resulting in many attempted/suicide. Others have shown their grief by visiting his his Carrol Wood residence (at the gate) where they camped out for days chanting his songs, showcasing his renown memorabilia, and lighting candles as they wept bitterly. Unfortunately although there was some sense of satisfaction from these rituals they could have only done so much in filling the empty void that was knifing at their heart and soul. They/we have lost a friend!
Post June 25, 2009 saw an overwhelming out pouring of love on the internet for MJ. Thousands of us have dedicated our twitter and facebook pages in honour of his legacy he left us.
Many have donated thousands of roses under the auspices of the thoughtful and hardworking >> @OneRose4MJJ who promotes charities in the name of Michael Jackson and also does the One Rose project.

While many soldiers dedicated their lives to the survival of MJ's legacy, life for MJ family, children and fans have certainly not been the same. We witnessed the court trial of Dr Conrad Murray and saw that he was found guilty and sent way for four years in prison. When we taught justice has been served a new series of developments have created a string of controversy among his fan causing a divide in the MJ camp. Some believe he was murdered while others believe he is still alive. Then there are those who called themselves "MJ Justice Fighters" who believe that Murray was allegedly used as the fall guy to aid concert promoters AEG and other MJ right hand business associates in their alleged conspiracy to murder him. As a result they have set out to ensure that justice is had for MJ. This group is spearheaded by the online website TEAMMICHAELJACKSON.COM owned and managed by Taaj Malik. Miss Malik ceremoniously attends every Michael Jackson court trial since his passing and is currently there at The AEG vs Katherine Jackson trial and provides a daily update to her twitter followers. You can find her on twitter @teammichaeljackson.
The MJ twitter community celebrates his legacy by tweeting his music, his quotes, pictures of him and his family, and anything related to him and his legacy. We are provided with his family updates via tweets and other media outlets. Some are pleasant while others are not. We were elated to lean of his oldest son Prince Michael's debut as a correspondent on E News - Entertainment Live and was moved by how mature and intelligent he has become. We are so proud of you Prince continue to make your dad proud. Paris too has debuted in her first film "London Bridge" and woe us with her awesome acting. However, in the spate of the AEG trial we almost lost her to attempted suicide. Thank God she is okay now! Blanket continues to grow up well as the splitting image of his father and keeping himself out of trouble.
The passing of MJ has no doubt brought many people together from all over the globe as death always does sometimes. I have personally made great friendship on twitter with fellow MJ fans. You know who you are I love and adore you.
Michael's legacy will live on because of the musical genius he was. He has left an indelible impression on the hearts of people everywhere with his music through his memorable number 1 hits such as Billy Jean, Beat It, Black or White, Man In The Mirror, Rock With You, Triller, etc.
Many tweets are already trending themes related to his 4th anniversary. I hereby take this opportunity to wish his three beautiful children Prince, Paris, and Blanket, his family, friends and fans all the very best during the commemoration of his passing. A special thanks to Jane Cole, Taaj Malik, MJTunes, Jacksons Radio, Marty, Marco B, MichaelisDreamUK, Keya Morgan, Michaels Dream, his family, friends, and fans for keeping his #remarkable LEGACY lit daily.
