A DAD’S HIS FAMILY’S STRENGTH AND GUIDE,
A SOURCE OF HOPE AND LIGHT,
THE ONE HIS FAMILY LOOKS UP TO
BECAUSE HE MAKES THINGS GO RIGHT,
A DAD IS A COMPANION
WHOSE LOYALTY HAS NO END
FOR HE’S MORE THAN JUST A FATHER
HE’S THE FINEST KIND OF FRIEND,
A DAD WILL HOLD HIS FAMILY CLOSE
AND KEEP WATCH OVER ALL,
AND HE’S THE ONE THE FAMILY KNOWS
WILL ANSWER WHEN THEY CALL
AND THOUGH HE NEVER SEEMS TO GET
THE PRAISES THAT HE’S DUE
THE WORLD’S A BETTER, HAPPIER PLACE
BECAUSE OF DADS LIKE YOU!
Davis
“When I became a father, my whole sense of God and the Sabbath was redefined. When I look into the eyes of my son, Prince, and daughter, Paris, I see miracles and I see beauty. Every single day becomes the Sabbath. Having children allows me to enter this magical and holy world every moment of every day. I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.”
Michael Jackson 2000
“SOMETIMES, I JUST WANT TO TAKE ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD IN MY ARMS.”
Michael Jackson
“Words can’t describe how I feel. I have been blessed beyond comprehension and I will work tirelessly at being the best father that I can possibly be. “
“MICHAEL WAS SILENT. HIS CHILDREN WERE HIS LIFE. BEING A FATHER WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND FULFILLING EXPERIENCE HE HAD EVER HAD. HE KNEW IT WAS NOT EASY FOR THEM TO HAVE SUCH A FAMOUS FATHER. MAYBE, IN SOME WAYS, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR THEM WITHOUT ME, THE THOUGHT FLOATED ACROSS HIS MIND. SOMEHOW, HE DID FEEL THAT HE COULD NEVER BE SEPARATED FROM HIS CHILDREN. THEY WERE HIS, AND HE
WAS THEIRS, FOREVER.”
Brenda Jenkyns
FOREVER LOVED
“His pride and joy, his three children-Prince, Paris and Blanket–are his greatest living legacy, perpetuating Michael Jackson’s memory, humanitarianism, and charity. Already they are following their father’s footsteps by working with the homeless population in Los Angeles. The children have announced their intention to continue his work on behalf of the needy and downtrodden. ‘It’s all about love,’ they say, echoing Michael Jackson’s often-repeated refrain.”
Dr. Karen Moriarty
DEFENDING A KING His Life and Legacy
“THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN MY LIFE WHEN I, LIKE EVERYONE, HAVE HAD TO WONDER ABOUT GOD’S EXISTENCE. WHEN PRINCE SMILES, WHEN PARIS GIGGLES, I HAVE NO DOUBTS. CHILDREN ARE GOD’S GIFTS TO US. NO, THEY ARE MORE THAN THAT, THEY ARE THE VERY FORM OF GOD’S ENERGY AND CREATIVITY AND LOVE. HE IS TO BE FOUND IN THEIR INNOCENCE, EXPERIENCED IN THEIR PLAYFULLNESS.”
Michael Jackson 2000
It was not random that Michael felt an intense passion for children…IT WAS HIS CALLING. Living in complete harmony with thought, word and action…Michael gave himself to HIS three children, and, extended that immense love to ALL children.
“If I were living for no other reason than to help and please children, that would be enough for me. They’re amazing people…amazing.”
“PARIS, PRINCE AND BLANKET…YOU ARE MY JOY, THE FULLNESS OF MY HEART IS BECAUSE OF YOU. I LOVE YOU BEYOND NOW AND FOREVERMORE.”

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, MICHAEL!
How can I add anything to this! I really believe that Prince , Paris and Blanket are Michael’s legacy and I’m sure that he laid the foundations for them to be just that. Their lives will forever remain altered by the tragedy of his passing, and the twist and turns ahead of them may well be influenced by others.. but I hope they will always remember what their Dad taught them, with love and affection, I have great faith in them.. and I believe that when they are older they will be his ultimate vindication. I just hope they know just how much their very special Daddy is loved and adored by millions around the world. Happy Father’s Day Michael and perhaps one day there will be an International Children’s Day too.
Such beautiful lovely photographs, pictures that say a thousand words.
