RIP The HAWK. Joseph Jackson. Those final moments we shared were absolutely everything. Being able to tell you everything I needed to say before saying goodbye was such a blessing. Everyone who came to visit you did so with immense love, respect, and pride in their hearts for you. Proud to be your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, proud to carry the strength you instilled in us and share the dynasty you created. You are the true Jackson, the legend who started it all. None of us would be where we are today without you. You are the strongest man I know, and your life’s work will go down in history. You’ll be remembered as one of the greatest patriarchs to ever live. I will cherish every single moment we had together, especially those last ones. Holding your hand, cuddling with you, kissing your cheeks and forehead—it meant more to me than I can ever express. Reliving the advice you gave me as a child, sharing stories my dad used to tell me about you, hearing your laughter for the last time—my heart is full knowing we parted in such a beautiful way. I made you promise to visit me, and you agreed, so I’m holding you to that. I love you, Grandpa, more than words can ever describe. I have immense gratitude for you and always will. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace, and I’ll see you in my dreams very soon.
