Michael Jackson Daughter Paris Jackson Honors Father During Public Memorial

July 7th, 2009 by Castina

This was so sad :(

A heartbroken Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, the 11-year-old daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson, gave a brief — but moving — tribute to her dad during a public memorial at the Staples Cener in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Shortly after Paris’ uncle Marlon finished addressing the audience, her famous aunt Janet Jackson walked her up to the microphone and lowered it so that she could give her first public address.

“I just wanted to say,” Paris began.

“Speak up sweetheart, speak up,” Janet said told her.

“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” Paris continued, choking back tears. “I just want to say I love him so much.”

In addition to Paris, Michael Jackson is survived by two sons, Prince Michael I, 12, and Prince Michael II, AKA Blanket, who is 7.

When that beautiful little girl spoke about her Daddy , it was the most heartbreaking thing to see.

Its a crying shame that such a pure, innocent child should have to endure such emotional pain.
