Yes, just like everyone else who's always been Michael Jackson's fan, I do miss him and he will forever stay in my heart.
Just wanted to share my story on how I get to know the Man from his music, his moves and his kind heart that he have shared with the world.
It was way back mid 90's, I think it was August of 1994 that I first watched a movie about his family, it was titled: "Jacksons The American Dream", I think that movie was aired on ABC 5 that year and that was the first time I get to admire a person who's passion for music is just amazing. I got to know about how he see things and how he felt about things, that even in a mouse that he found a friend.
I was in 5th grade that year and I was so moved by Michael Jackson that I started to listen to his songs and watch his videos. I even get to watch news about him.
I was only 10 that time and I don't really care about what the media has been buzzing about him. For me, I found solace and happiness when I get to listen into his songs. Even in school, I sometimes argue with my fellow students when they say not so nice things about him.
I get to see the person behind Michael Jackson "the entertainer", I admired him for his love of children and the world itself, how he sees the goodness in almost everyone. He helped so many children around the world and that made me give him respect because I was still a kid back then and being a kid didn't stop me from giving him respect.
December of 1996 was one of the most amazing night of my life. I have waited for years to actually see Michael and hear his voice floating in the air. I was able to watch him dance from a far and hear his voice like he's beside me. At least I get the chance to scream out: "I Love You Michael!" and I don't care if did hear me say those words. I was happy that I get to be a part of his HIStory.
As years passed, I have always been a fan. A loyal fan. Every time I get to hear people talking bad and hurtful things about him I get really upset even if I don't show it. From all the molestation cases to the very hurtful accusations...
As a fan all I can really do is to wish and pray that Michael will some day found that peace and happiness that he deserves.
I was actually hoping to be a part of his maybe last tour but I guess it will never happen no more. It saddens me that he wasn't able to spend more years with his kids and watch them grow into persons that he will always be proud of. I felt sad for his kids that they have lost their father and will not be able to spend happy times with him.
I just wish that people would just stop talking about him and finally give him peace that he, like everyone else deserves.
I know that this post is a little late and this is some sort of my tribute for his birthday and sorry if I posted a little late.
I pray that Michael will find and feel the peace and happiness he never felt in this planet. For him to be able to smile and not hide any pain and sufferings. I pray for his children too and his family.
Michael Jackson will forever be in my heart. I have learn to love music and appreciate every notes and every words because of him.
A late Happy Birthday Michael.
