Michael Jackson's children paid their respects to their father, yesterday at the Michael Jackson memorial service. The live coverage aired around the world and was viewed by millions of Michael's fans. There is no doubt that the most heart wrenching moments occurred when Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, took the microphone from her Uncle Marlon Jackson, and spoke. Michael Jackson had shielded his children from the public, and because of this speculation and rumors arose regarding the relationship he had with them. Since Michael Jackson has passed away, the public has seen more of his children in one week, then they have in 12 years.

For the first time, the world heard and saw Michael Jackson's children. Though they may not be Michael Jackson's biological children, they were his none the less. There were so many allegations, innuendos, and rumors regarding Michael Jackson. Much of his behavior seemed strange and odd. The memorial showed us that the possibility arises that maybe the King of Pop wasn't as odd as the tabloids made him appear. The media is filled with speculation regarding whether or not Michael is the biological father of his children. Other rumors circulated regarding why we never saw them in public. There are a million possibilities that could explain these behaviors, from the innocent and pure as his most loyal fans believe, to the hideous and perverse as are made public by his critics

As a nation, we might not ever know the truth behind the rumors that plagued Michael Jackson throughout his life. What we do know, and what we have are the words that people say about him. The words that his children say, now and in the future, might be the very words that finally bring light and truth to the person and character of Michael Jackson. Paris, Prince, and Blanket Jackson will continue to speak and as they do, they will reveal a side of Michael Jackson to the world that has never been known.

Yesterday, at the Michael Jackson Memorial Service, during live coverage that aired worldwide, we heard Paris Jackson speak about her father. She broke down in tears and said that he had been the best father, that she loved him, and would miss him. Here are photos of Paris, Blanket, and Prince Jackson as they pay honor to their father.
