To rest, in peace.
Maybe this isn't the place to write about personal feelings, but seeing as I am passionate about helping, I thought a few minute of your time would be fine.

We have all heard/seen/read/Googled and talked about the passing of Michael Jackson in the last few days, but it seems that some people find it OK to come out the woodwork and stick more knives into the dead, usually these same people are the ones who are photographed standing right next to Michael or have held a microphone and cheerfully said they support and respect him.
It seems in this world the old attage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer' rings loud and true - something I find difficult to swallow. When was the last time you said you would support something a friend, colleague, workmate or even a family member did - and stuck to what you said? I know I haven't and now that I have read so many stories about Michael's Dad Jo, rabbiting on about his new venture or Debbie Rowe claiming the kids Michael and her had were not fathered by him.
Even Cyber criminals and online hawkers jumped on the dead artists bandwagon sending scam emails to offer unpublished videos and pictures of Jackson, but the link in the email is not of a YouTube clip but instead leads to password-stealing malware that installs on the victim's computer.
I'm only 35, maybe no spring-chicken, maybe I'm still 'Wet behind the ears' to some things - but one thing certainly sticks out...
When someone dies, until you join them - carry out THEIR wishes as if they were standing right next to you, speak of them honestly and with the compassion and love you would show if being there in person and if you cannot respect them in death, if you cannot help but spit sour milk of their life - maybe you were no friend to start with.
