Paris Jackson recalls last moments with grandpa Joe Jackson
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
"You are the first true Jackson. The legend that started it all," says Paris Jackson.
Paris Jackson posted a sweet tribute to her grandfather Joe Jackson on Instagram.
Joe lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on Wednesday - two days after the world remembered his son, Michale Jackson, on the nine-year anniversary of his death.
Paris shared a picture of her holding her grandfather's hand while visiting him in hospital.
"RIP The HAWK. Joseph Jackson... I will cherish every moment with you til the day I die, especially our last moments. Being able to hold your hand, lay with you and cuddle you, give you kisses all over your cheeks and forehead, meant more to me than you’ll ever know. Quoting advice you gave me when I was a little kid and seeing your eyes light up, sharing stories my dad used to tell me about you, telling a joke and hearing you laugh for the last time" she wrote.
The 20-year-old described Joe as the "first true Jackson".
"Everyone that came to visit you, came with love, respect, and so much pride in their hearts for you. Proud of you, proud to be your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, proud to have your strength and share the dynasty you spent your life creating, and proud to be a Jackson."
Paris revealed that Joe promised he would visit her as a ghost.
"I made you promise me you’ll come visit me. you agreed and I''m going to hold you to it. and I promised you that we will keep telling your story, over and over. to never be forgotten. My great grandchildren will know who Joseph Jackson is. I love you, grandpa. So so so much that words can’t describe."
