Life is short and therefore must be lived to its fullest potential. Often times the grits and grinds make us forget just how precious our borrowed time is on this earth.

Today is an exceptionally sad day, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson has breathed his last as well as the brave Farrah Faucet, both iconic in their own rights.

Farrah has been a pillar of strength throughout her ordeal, a source of inspiration to those around her, she was a brave and strong woman. May she finally find peace in God's loving embrace.

MJ's departure on the other hand was surprising, he was only 50 years old, considerably young by today's standard. The cause of death they say probably was a cardio, like a thief in the night that robbed him of his chance to see his children grow. I commiserate with his family, for I too know just how devastating it was to lose someone that way, to not have a chance to even say goodbye. MJ will be remembered, He is a legend and his name will live forever in the hearts of those that love him. May he find the elusive peace he's long been looking for and may the Lord's mercy be upon his soul as the angels gather him and lead him…. home.

Rest in Peace Farrah, Rest in Peace Michael Joseph … you both will always be remembered.
