Lisa Marie, said even as a child she knew something was wrong with her daddy, that he was not happy, that she sometimes had to catch him before he stumbled, that she said to him, "Don't die." Oh my, these revelations are almost too personal for an outsider. At one point during the interview, she answered a question, but asked if they move on to another question. Very sad--it is her eyes and mouth that get to you. There is even a saved note, "4 things that I wish", written in her childish hand. The fourth wish is "I wish my mommy and my daddy don't die." Sawyer will continue the interview tomorrow.
Good Morning America's focus remains on Elvis, right now there is a gospel choir paying tribute to Elvis by singing one of his favorite songs. It makes me wonder, when did Elvis Presley become ELVIS? Perhaps he was always ELVIS and I simply did not pay attention.

I missed the Diane Sawyer interview with Lisa Marie but I have heard Lisa Marie talk about her dad before. You can see the pain in her eyes when she speaks of him. I don't really know when Elvis Presley became "Elvis" because I was a child when he died but I can remember listening to Suspicious Minds on my dad's 8 track and thinking, "Wow, He can sing!"
I remember Elvis vividly, I even saw him on television. But I am just now appreciating the impact he had on people.
Diane Sawyer will continue her interview tomorrow. Watch it if you can.
I have to tell you that I am now an Elvis convert. (smiling)
