Older, never-before-seen pictures of Michael Jackson at home with his two older children, Prince Michael and Paris Jackson, have just been published by OK!
To sum them up in a word: Awww! It's so sad that their father is gone, and our hearts go out to these adorable children and their younger sibling Blanket.
The King of Pop was a music icon and a deeply troubled individual in many ways, but he was without a doubt a loving dad, and the children his top priority.
Paris Jackson's speech about him at his memorial service Tuesday said it all.
Click to enlarge the pictures below, showing MJ at Neverland, celebrating Prince's birthday in 2003, and posing with Debbie Rowe and baby Paris in 1998:

Paris, I cried when you came out and told everybody how much you love your daddy. My heart goes out to you, your brother, your grandma and grandpa and all your uncles and aunts. Just remember that daddy's in a good place where he will be taken care of and look down from heaven on you and tell you how much he loves you. YOUR "DADDY'S GIRL" and you always will be. You are a very pretty little girl.
