Jackson died on June 25, 2009.“It will continue,' she told of London. 'I love it when I see kids emulating him, when adults still listen to his music. It just lets you know the impact that my family has had on the world. I hope I’m not sounding arrogant in any way – I’m just stating what is.
It’s really all God’s doing, and I’m just thankful for that.”Janet, 53, who is in the middle of a summer, has both fond and 'grueling' memories of working with her family at such a young age. She recalled helping her brothers with 'charitable acts': Michael, then in his late teens, would buy barbecue dinners and they would drive around town 'looking for homeless people to feed.' But she still laments being deprived of a proper childhood.“You really miss out,” she said. “You don’t get to do all the fun things that kids do.

They were my best friends.”She also opened up about once telling dad Joe that she was interested in stepping away from music and going to school to study business law: 'My father told me no. He felt that God had a different path for me.' Jackson says she feels she 'did say everything' to Joe that she needed to, adding that her own son, 2½ -year-old Eissa, will be free to choose his own path.'
I was thankful for the time that I did have with him, with Eissa, the three of us together,' she said. 'Being together with my father in the end.'

She said therapy has helpful in getting through tough times.'
It’s never going to be an easy ride, but we’re going to get through this,' she said. I’ve done a lot in my life and it’s about having fun, continuing to have fun. There are still things that I do want to do in life, but if I don’t get to do those things, then I’m good. I have a son and he’s beautiful. He’s my light.”.
'To wait after the passing of Michael, 10 years later, to come out and state this,' he continued. 'They're still in court, suing the estate for hundreds of millions of dollars.'
