Today is one of those days that you will look back on and remember where you when they announced that first Farrah Faucet, then Michael Jackson have both died. Both of these people left such a large footprint on the world. I think one of my most vivid memories of MJ would have to be when he performed at the Super Bowl, remember? Every one in the audience held up colors that when put together formed children from all over the world holding hands, while he sang, "we are the world, we are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day, so lets keep on giving." I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Kate Jackson, made a comment that I hope would be said of me once my day comes, "Farrah will be remember by her kindness, her cutting dry wit, and of course her beautiful smile. Today when you think of Farrah think of her smiling, that is exactly how she would want it." I remember watching Charley's Angel as a child thinking, wow, I want to be just like her when I grow up. I, like most other people at the time, thought she was the most beautiful woman ever.

I guess I never really thought of what kind of legacy I wanted to leave behind, until I had Konrad. He honestly makes me want to be a better person, I want to save the world, so he can lead a more solid existence. I have never been the kind to try and impress people, I have really just been myself and if you don't like WHO CARES. Now, for at least him, I care. I want to leave a legacy of giving back to the world, of separating the great divide between the haves and have nots. I want to help people lead a more fulfilling existence. I want Konrad to know that character can't be bought. That if someone is more impressed by the car you drive, or the bag you carry, than the person you are, then they are not worth your time. I want to give him the power to open any door that awaits him in life, and I want to enable him to love with his whole heart.
Seek enlightenment, and share it with your neighbor. I love you all. May this day bless you with peace and love.
