Paris and her grand dad at the hospital
"RIP The HAWK. Joseph Jackson. spending those last few moments
with you were everything. being able to tell you everything i needed to
tell you before saying goodbye was such a blessing. everyone that came
to visit you, came with love, respect, and so much pride in their hearts
for you. proud of you, proud to be your children, grandchildren, and
great-grandchildren, proud to have your strength and share the dynasty
you spent your life creating, and proud to be a jackson.
"you are the first true jackson. the legend that started it
all. none of us would be anywhere near where we’re at if it weren’t for
you. you are the strongest man i know. your life’s work will go down in
history, as will you, to be known as one of the greatest patriarchs to
ever live. i will cherish every moment with you til the day i die,
especially our last moments. being able to hold your hand, lay with you
and cuddle you, give you kisses all over your cheeks and forehead, meant
more to me than you’ll ever know.
"quoting advice you gave me when i was a little kid and seeing
your eyes light up, sharing stories my dad used to tell me about you,
telling a joke and hearing you laugh for the last time.. my heart is
full knowing we left each other in that way. i made you promise me
you’ll come visit me. you agreed and i’m going to hold you to it. and i
promised you that we will keep telling your story, over and over. to
never be forgotten. my great grandchildren will know who joseph jackson
is.
"i love you grandpa. so so so much that words can’t describe. i
have immense gratitude for you, and always will. we all feel that way.
thank you for everything. truly. rest in peace and transition. i’ll see
you in my dreams very very soon."
