I have seen several hours of footage about your passing, but I can’t believe you are gone,
I don’t want to believe it. You will be greatly missed. You will forever live through your music and what you have done to make this world a better place. I love you, Michael !!!
I am heart broken. I know I am one of the most loyal Jackson 5 fans ever. Not only did I grew up with the Jackson 5 but I had every picture, magazine article, poster and album that came out. I still have many of these things locked away in my mother's home. I joined the Jackson 5 fan club even though I lived all the way in Australia. As a Sri Lankan girl growing up in Australia the Jackson 5 helped me with racial issues that I encountered and gave me a group to follow. I especially liked Michael and Marlon since they were my age and I have followed them it seems all my life. It seems Michael was a very caring individual. It boggles my mind why he was ridiculed all these years by the press. I would have been nice of them to concentrate on the positive aspects of Michael's life as a caring individual. I still see the images of the Jackson 5 on stage with their large afros and Michael up front singing and dancing. I am glad I have such memories and will never forget.
I see and hear comments from all of Michael Jackson's friends, family and professional friends like Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, etc, but nothing from Mcauley Culkin. Any thoughts?
My heart is broken, you will be missed tremendously!
Michael the world will not be the same without you, RIP
