The music manager and father of 11 (including Michael and Janet Jackson) died yesterday after a battle with terminal pancreatic cancer.
“Spending those last few moments with you were everything,” Paris Jackson wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “Being able to tell you everything i needed to tell you before saying goodbye was such a blessing. 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.”
She added, “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.”
