Blanket Doesn’t Know Where His Dad Is

Michael Jackson‘s youngest child Blanket (the one who looks the most like him) was apparently confused at Michael’s memorial service as to his deceased father’s whereabouts. The seven year old supposedly asked his godfather, Mark Lester, where his father was at the event. Lester, of course, felt this was an entirely appropriate thing to share with the public.

“He said, ‘Where’s Daddy gone? On holiday?’ It was a rhetorical question and it broke my heart,” he said of Blanket. “Prince was taciturn, unusual for him, but we still had a hug. Paris gave me a tight hug and we just held each other for a while. We were both welling up. I told her that her dad would always lie in her heart and be remembered by at least half of the world. Paris replied: ‘I’m just glad he is at peace.’”

Lester went on to detail Paris’ request that she and her brothers spend Christmas with his family, and fretted that the custody dispute might end badly for the Jackson kids. “The possibility that the three children might be split up – Blanket, of course, is by another mother – is unthinkable and I believe it would be disastrous for all of them.”
