88. Well and so beautifully said!
Your comment about watching the Jackson men put a lump in my throat - I had the same feeling. Perhaps because I've grown up and older along with them, I never really noticed that they had aged. But watching them the other day, I saw them, as you did, as 50-something-year-old men and realized that we had all gotten older.

Seeing them mourn their brother in their matching suits and ties - of course, the Jackson 5 would be properly and similarly attired - and holding it together under the most painful and emotional of circumstances - made me feel that a piece of my childhood that I didn't know was still there had died with Michael. But the memories also have been coming back and they are wonderful, aren't they?
