Michael Jackson's handwritten notes, which were shown to a jury on Thursday, have given an intimate glimpse of the late singer's relationship with his children.
The King of Pop scrawled one of the notes on a scrap of paper to remember a tender exchange with his younger son, Blanket, the New York Daily News reported.
The notes were admitted to the court in order to prove the depth of love and affection Jackson had for his children, and the extreme emotional loss felt by his untimely death on June 25, 2009.
Jurors also saw a pencil and paper note by Jackson's daughter carefully composed for her dad with ample eraser marks and a heart used to dot the "i" in her name.
Jackson's mum Katherine is suing concert promoter AEG Live for wrongful death saying the company's executives negligently hired the doctor who overdosed her son and should be held financially liable.
