When I first found out that Michael Jackson passed away yesterday, I was in shock. I was speaking to one of my employees about our referral program for a few minutes and at the end of the conversation, he asked me, “Did you hear about Michael Jackson?’ I answered,”no, what?” He then proceeded to tell me that he died. My immediate response was… “Shut Up….” I seriously thought he was joking. I asked him a couple times and he continued to tell me that he was not joking and he just heard it on the news. I hung up the phone in shock and speechless. Almost immediately, I got a text from a friend asking if I heard about Michael Jackson and within seconds, I heard it over the speakers at the office. Sure enough, “Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest and has died at the age of 50″. Then, without a pause, they played Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough. Over 24 hours have passed and I am still in disbelief. I am speechless. I will post more about this incredible enterainer later, when I can gather my thoughts. In the meantime, I will end this post with what I posted on my facebook status today. And that is… ” Gayla Elizabeth appreciates life. Thinks we all need to be grateful for what we have. Be humble, be kind and share your love. It can all be gone tomorrow. So long Michael, you will be missed!”
