GIO! Hey!

How are you?

Hi Jan, sorry I lost my connection

I'm doing good, how are you? Are you dreaming of some beach on Maui?

 

[GIOny]

If you're wondering what that is.. it's a Tiki thing, lol.

So, earlier today, (this morning/early afternoon..), my mom applied for getting Free Tickets for Michael Jackson's Public Memorial Service, which will be held at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, California. She said that nobody has them yet until tomorrow-ish and that there is like 500,000+ people already applied to try and get the tickets.. And there is like what? 17,000+ seats in the Staples Center? I think it's like around 17,000 or 20,000 seats. If we get the tickets, we're just gonna go. Part of me wants to go and then parts of me doesn't, lol. I know for sure IF I do go, I'll be crying my eyes out just like I have these past few days, but even more then these past few days -- that goes for my mom as well.

Aside from that, the Staples Center is where I'll be seeing the American Idol Tour along with my mom on the 16th of July that is in a few weeks.

That is amazing that you got to go, I saw some of it on TV.

Wow. My grandpa just called the house and said my grandma only has about 24 or 72 hours or something to live. Not quite sure if the last thing is right, maybe he said they'll be moving her into a different home so she'll be taken care of easier, I have no idea - but wow.

I had posted this on another thread just now on the TB, and thought I'd just post it here.

I went to the Public Memorial Service this morning, it lasted for almost three hours. I had been crying more than my mom while at the service. When they brought out the casket.. I was in shock. I didn't know what to feel, but with the casket in the STAPLES Center, it made me feel complete inside. Around when they were taking the casket out of the STAPLES Center, I felt empty inside. I'm so depressed, and saddened -- but, Michael Jackson isn't gone. He'll live on in all of our hearts Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever.

Aside from being depressed and saddened, the Memorial Service was a memorable experience that I'll forever remember, and remember that I got to share it with my mom. I loved the music, what people had to say about their memories while they got to spend time with Michael Jackson. And then there was Paris, Michael Jackson's daughter, who said something that still makes me want to cry at this very second. Wow, that memorial was so special to go to, it was so historic, I'll always remember it, and I'll always remember Michael Jackson. He'll be in my heart, Forever.

I'm not really sure what to feel right now

, my heart is broken into pieces.

It must of been a beautiful service, you will remember that for a long time. You should frame the ticket and wrist band.

Hey, LB!



Yeah....that's true. I talked to my dad for over an hour a little over a half hour ago...found some news out. My Dad said that when he went over to see my grandma, (his mom), that she's not responding to people, she doesn't know who anyone is, she has a tube in her nose, he said that she hasn't eaten anything for 5 whole days, that her body is shutting down. My dad even said that her mouth is open, and has been. She hasn't been out of her bed for a while. She's not doing well at all, and my Dad also said, that they now say she has about 12 or so hours to live. And just to see my father get upset just by talking about it.. made me upset.

My Dad even said that my grandpa would think it'd be good if I'd come over there tomorrow to say something to my grandmother before she goes -- I told my Dad that if I do go.. and I'm there, right there.. when she dies.. I'd be so sad and I don't want that to happen...he agreed to that. You see, I want to remember my grandmother the way I saw her about a month ago, I don't really want to go and see what "death" is like, to witness it. -that's what my grandpa even said it'd be good if I'd come and see what "death" looks like from up close, (something like that, my dad told me..)- Plus, my uncle from Australia is flying in tomorrow morning, and so my dad is going to be bringing him over to the house and then if I want to go and see my grandmother, I can.

My Dad said I can if I want to... So, this all very sad. But, I'm remembering the "good" times from visiting my grandmother.

Sorry you and your family are going through this now.
It's never easy but at least you can comfort one another

It is wonderful that you got to go, though.

Oh Muskrat, my heart goes out to you girl. I'm going to jump on my soap box and say, I'm glad you and your dad talked. Its one way to get you two closer connected. It breaks my heart reading about your grandma. People get so happy about a birth of a new baby, but the beginning of a life being lost, not so. I lost my last grandmother four years ago and it pains me to this day not having her in my life. I was 3K miles away and couldn't be there. I would've held her hand to her last breath if I could I loved her that much. Dear Jan, do what you feel is right, but if can be there to stroke her hand or brush her hair. I think it would be nice to create a final memory. On the other hand, I understand why you wouldn't want to be there. Continue to be there for your dad and family, I know you are doing your best

Muskrat, I tried looking up the seats you had at the Staples Center. There's so many different seating configurations . So, where were your seats? And, do you have a link to your pictures you've posted on-line?

:bad: we're having router problems again. 2-3 days hopefully until a replacement solution arrives in the mail.
