Paris, surrounded by family
Surely the most touching moment from Michael Jackson’s memorial service would have to be his 11 year old daughter Paris taking the stage and saying a few words about her father.
“I just want to say ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine,” Paris said, surrounded by the rest of the Jackson family. “And I just want to say I love him so much.”
Paris was then embraced by her family and taken off stage. While her words were very heartfelt and emotional, they were also surprising because we never hear the Jackson children speak. To be honest, this added a layer of humanity to this whole ordeal that I didn’t feel until today. I always imagined Jackson’s children to be somewhat distant and silent, the typical celebrity child. This just goes to show that they are real kids in a completely surreal situation.
The video of Paris’ speech is making the rounds online and you can watch it here. You might want to grab a tissue before hand.
