“Its very apparent they miss their father a lot. They talk about him daily, “Daddy would do this, daddy would do that”. Prince was always the little man, now he is kind of the father figure, big brother to the younger ones. Its devastating. I know he misses his father. Paris, how has she been effected? Being daddies little girl, shes devastated & lost. [..] Every girl needs her father. She's having a difficult time coping, trying to find out who she is. It's taking a lot of love & understanding to keep her together. She breaks down, she cries “I don’t want to have another birthday again,” the entire household is worried about Paris. Blanket is eleven years old, he's just graduated 5th grade. Him being the baby, he constantly none stop remembers his relationship with his father. [..] He's feeling the loss of not having his father back. He's home schooled Monday through Friday. Friday he doesn’t have to wear his uniform, so he wears an MJ tshirt constantly...he does his father's dance moves. They want to be like him in so many ways. ”
