I can't say I am glad tomorrow is Monday, as I am sad that I have to go to work while the kids and wife are home for summer break... but I am glad to have a new week ahead, as the past week was terrible.
First my friend Suzette had two of her friends killed by a random act of violence. These kinds of acts are so senseless that nothing I can say can really sum up the anger and pain they cause. I don't understand how people don't see what the result of their actions will be, not only on the person they have killed, but on the family and friends of the victims and the inevitable effect on their own lives as they rot in jail for what??? She was understandably devistated and my thoughts are with her.
Then my friend Mary Ann's mother died suddenly of a medical condition. Having lost my own mother, I am tempted to say that I know what she is going through, but the truth is that everyones grief is very personal and no one can really know anothers pain in such a situation. All I can say is that I have had a similar experience and she has my most heartfelt sympathy.
To make matters worse we lost not one but three legends...
Ed McMahon, best known as the sidekick of The Tonite Show's Johnny Carson.
Farrah Fawcett, pin up girl and Charlies Angel a wonderful actress.
And most unexpectedly Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died suddenly of cardiac arrest. At only 50 Michael was taken too soon and the effects of his death have stopped Hollywood in its tracks.
I have put together a short video, that features Mr. Jackson, but is really for all of those who have lost a loved one. I apologize upfront for my singing but I hope that Michaels words strike a cord with you the way they did with me. My deepest condolences and respect to all....
