If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the death of Michael Jackson, it’s that life goes on. Especially if it’s Elizabeth Taylor’s life.
The former Hollywood leading lady issued this heartfelt statement about her good friend:
My heart . . . my mind . . . are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can’t imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. It can’t be so. He will live in my heart forever but it’s not enough. My life feels so empty. I don’t think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I’ve ever known. Oh God! I’m going to miss him. I can’t yet imagine life with out [sic] him. But I guess with God’s help . . . I’ll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, “To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.” And, I will love HIM forever.
Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web points out that the self-absorbed former star referred to herself 23 times in this 162 word statement (and that’s if we exclude the word “we” from the total).
There’s one thing in Taylor’s statement that cannot be disputed.
Her mind is definitely broken.
