		<description>Choi, 

I just want to let you know that you&#039;ve put into words,all my feelings and emotions since Michael passed away. I still can&#039;t get over it and cry every tiem I hear I&#039;ll be there or Man In The Mirror. And believe me, I&#039;m not one to &#039;mourn&#039; celebrities, the last time someone&#039;s death affected me this much was Princess Diana. I just feel that their humanitarian deeds and endless love and compassion brought them much sadness and grief and this is utterly unfair. I also, like you, cannot openly grieve for this great soul because of the scrutiny and even ridicule from my friends and other people. I would love to just meet with a group to discuss Michael and his legacy instead of scrutiny.</description>

		<description>Just found this warm place where my feelings are felt and understood.  Like the sister commenting way up there, I was supposed to marry him too (weren&#039;t we all?)  In five days it will be a  month since we learned this news, and I am still hurting.  He is so much a part of my life, from 1969 on. 

Thank you.</description>

		<description>I am 52. I am a music educator.  I still cry no less than once a day for Michael, not only for the loss of his amazing talent and the fact we&#039;ll never see his comeback, but for the wonderful memories he left me of my youth and young adulthood. And for the personal story of his life and the belief that he was treated so poorly by so many JUST because he was himself and didn&#039;t apologize for honoring himself and his honesty. A sweet spirit whom I&#039;d have loved to had one conversation with....a gorgeous man, sensitive caring person, loving father and gentle role model on loving humankind. He changed the world.  And God knows he was sent to us for a reason.
Rest in peace Michael.  I know I will still shed tears for you because you will always touch my heart whenever I hear of see you.  Thank you for your gift of spirit and being a teacher of unconditional love.  
Forever.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s been over three weeks and I still say to myself, that I can&#039;t believe he&#039;s gone.  I&#039;m just a fan.

He is my childhood icon, he was and is bigger than life.
I was about 5 or 6 when I &quot;fell in love&quot; with MJ and his music.
I remember having a small portable tape player and Id take it to my backyard and swinging on my swingset.
I&#039;d even take it w/me to bed and fall asleep listening to it.

&quot;Off The Wall&quot; and &quot;Thriller&quot; were my entire childhood.  I remember rocking w/Rock with You, PYT, OTW, Human Nature, well ALL of the songs. 

I remember begging my mom for the glove and the jacket to put them on layaway and she did even though she KNEW Id never wear them, because I was much too shy.

My father to me to the Jackson Victory Tour, my very first concert! We had the cheap seats but it didnt matter, I was SO excited to be there, my dad was the hero for sure.

It really was puppy love, I have continued to love music, dance and anything and everything creative since. 

After about 8 yo my life was pretty much a living hell, but when I look back at that time w/MJ&#039;s music it makes me smile and cry all at the same time.

I just keep thinking WHY, it&#039;s so NOT fair!
I know he was in so much pain, he tried to hide behind the physical pain but it was so much more than that.
I really can not even begin to imagine what he went through.

As much as I love his music it&#039;s hard to listen w/o crying.
If I had to choose, which is really hard, but really Id choose human nature, something about the lyrics and nuances in his voice, and symbolism and it&#039;s just amazing.

He reached everyone regardless of color, culture, religion, his spirit has no bounds.

I found your page by searching
&quot;I still can&#039;t believe he&#039;s gone&quot; because I can&#039;t

MJ we miss you 
forever and always</description>

		<description>Thanks afrobella for having a positive place for MJ&#039;s fans. I stopped looking at pictures and articles online. They just want to attack his legacy and his kids. I don&#039;t feel bad about grieving for him either. I had a meeting Tuesday with my boss and I just wasn&#039;t mentally there. I was thinking about Mj, wishing I was at home watching the service. Day by day it sinks in that he is gone. I am at peace knowing that it was a part of Gods plan for him. Which means MJ is doing great!
God bless his kids and family.</description>

		<description>No explanations or apologies needed for me. Anyone that doesn&#039;t &quot;get it&quot;, well that&#039;s becuse they weren&#039;t supposed to. Only a spirit could touch people with just a smile the way he did. I can&#039;t think of anyone else in history that brought the world to a pause all at once. He gave all he had for 45 years, we must never let his memory die.</description>
