The morning I found out he had passed, I was stunned. A few days later I went up into my mum's loft and got down all my MJ stuff from my teen years...posters...calenders....records...t-shirts...books...mags. They were going for crazy prices on ebay. But I couldn't bear to part with a single thing. They are now packed safely away and I will treasure them always. It's hard, especially on occasions such as his Birthday the other week. Certain songs set me off. 'I just can't stop loving you' always get's me. My son is called Ben after the song 'Ben'..and that brings a tear to my eye also. At least we will always have his.

I bought at least three magazine pictorials of his life, Ebony, Life and Rolling Stone- and not one of them had this photo of him. It is really really nice!

I...I was intrigued by your comments about Michael. I also didn't know Michael personally, but have loved him for a long time. So sad the things he endured in his too short life. But I heard him in his own words say he wouldn't have traded the life he lived for a different one. So I guess for the most part he made his peace. He really did seem to be a genius man-child. I'll be glad when his family buries him so he can finally rest in peace. But I fear the media will never let him rest. Take care of yourself- wishing you many blessings...RaeRaehttp://aoneofakinddesignbyrachel.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258379147878569196.post-42841691863268357372009-07-18T19:09:37.109+01:002009-07-18T19:09:37.109+01:00Clare your words were very emotional to me.

The media managed to inflate, and deflate him even aftern death! i dont understand why they behave in this way, but it made me very angry. I believe he was himself a man in torment and i chose to remember him for the same reasons as you, a music genius, and a great father to his children. God bless him.

I have been so upset over the weekend, people close to me have thought that I am going mad, but its like I have lost an old friend. In his own words, 'we are not alone' in the way we feel, there are millions of true fans feeling like we do. I wasn't lucky enough to see him live but I won't forget him or his wonderful music, Heidi xxThe Crafty Goat Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800522343177235613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258379147878569196.post-52786918660775754202009-06-30T20:45:18.790+01:002009-06-30T20:45:18.790+01:00Fantastically put, i totally agree, why can't ...Fantastically put, i totally agree, why can't they just let him rest in peace now.

I am just so glad we still have his music...we will always have that and therefore MJ will forever be with us. I also feel that he was badly maligned by the press and in some style it seems they are quite happy invading peoples privacy and seem to have no respect even for the dead. As most things these days they go to far. I also agree I do not think MJ could have hurt anyone but was very naive and as always the subject of greed. He offered genuine love and friendship but some wanted more much more from him and took him for what they could and ultimately nearly destroyed him. I never believed MJ could have done the things they reported if people listened to the lyrics that went with the music they would know that. I enjoyed the video.<br /><br />Hugs<br />Lorraine xcoldwaters2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08215580207737032353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258379147878569196.post-39952117802991723982009-06-30T00:05:37.136+01:002009-06-30T00:05:37.136+01:00That was beautiful.

I can identify any period of my life by one of his songs. When I saw him on the 'Bad" tour, my mom threatened me within an inch of my life if I passed out! lol So, I just cried for 3 hours. Only one other entertainer had the same effect on me, and that is his sister Janet.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your feelings.<br /><br />From one devoted fan to another,<br />Tiffanytifflynn76https://www.blogger.com/profile/16935287128551915333noreply@blogger.com
