Kids put spring back in granny Jackson’s step
Katherine Jackson is getting her granny groove back. The three grandchildren who are now permanently in her care are helping her deal with the sudden death of her son Michael at just 50.
“After last Monday, it was like a load was taken off of her, and she’s kicking her heels a little bit. She’s got her grandchildren, they’re set. She’s starting to rock and roll. She’s getting her grandma swagger back,” said L. Londell McMillan, lawyer and longtime friend of Katherine.
McMillan said the kids were a saving grace during a painful time for the 79-year-old.
“She has been busy trying to make sure that these children will be provided for,” he said.
McMillan spoke highly of Katherine, saying: “I lost my mom almost 20 years ago, but [she and Katherine] were similar in being selfless, loving to laugh and being the most loyal person in the room. Katherine is a wonderful lady.”
He said the three children, Prince Michael I, Paris Katherine and Blanket, were doing well. “They’re in a great spot. They love their grandma. She is a very vibrant and youthful 79-year-old woman. Mrs Jackson will be the matriarch of love that she has always been for this family.”
He said they had no shortage of entertainments at their new home. “They love spraying water guns on people – especially those in suits. If you come into their space, you will get sprayed. Oh, they wait for me to turn that corner!”
