"Moon River" as told by La Toya Jackson
(In Photo: Mike and his beloved mother Katherine)
1970's - Some of my most cherished memories of home center on my mother and the many good times we shared.
One day I teasingly told my brothers, “You guys go to Europe all the time, but I’m going to be the first person to take mother there. It was going to be a special trip, just the two of us together."
Before we left, Michael handed me an envelope. “Here,” he said, smiling. “Give this to Mother when the plane is up in the air, okay?”
What is it? I wondered. Once airborne, I took the envelope from my bag and handed it to her. “Mother, this is for you, from Mike.”
“For me?” she asked, surprised. No matter how many gifts her children lavish on her, for Mother each is like the first one.
Inside were $10,000 in cash and a piece of paper on which Michael had written the lyrics to one of her favorite songs...
“Moon River.-- “Two drifters off to see the world, there’s such a lot of world to see”
Tears welled in our eyes. By the time we got to Michael’s inscription, “Please enjoy yourself. Don’t hesitate to do anything. Just go for it. It’s your life, Enjoy it. Love, Michael,”
We were crying like a couple of idiots. All the passengers stared at us, and the flight attendants kept asking if there was something they could do.
-La Toya Jackson
