It always surprises me how I react to the news of a dying celebrity since I don't follow movie actors or musicians all that closely. I'm more of a news junkie than anything else and cried for 2 days when my beloved Tony Snow passed away not so very long ago.
Hearing the shocking news of Michael Jackson's passing has me feeling down and yet I didn't buy his music or follow his career. Really all I knew of him were the hideous tabloids that have plagued his image for over a decade. They made me ill and I say that not knowing how much of the claims he was charged with were truth or fiction. I don't need to know, don't care to know... regardless of what the real story is, it's a sad one.
Then there's Farrah Facett. I didn't follow her career either, but did see a segment of her battle with cancer. Just enough to break my heart. The sound of a strong woman coming from a frail body... it was evident that her battle for life wouldn't be a long one.
In any case, I'd like to express my deepest sympathies to both families. It's really sad even for a mom like myself who knew very little about either individual.
Merry Christmas!
