Tears for You Michael


My heart is heavy because I am still in denial that MJ is truely gone. I cant bring myself to let the teras in my eyes fall bc I just cant give in that he is really gone. I just cant. I thought my kids would see and hear Michael some day the way I had the privilage to. I watched as MuchMoreMusic, MTV, and Much Music broadcast his many videos but there is one video that transports me back to being 11 siting in my moms room glued to the tv; "Remember the Time". That was my favorite song in the whole world and if you were giving me a million dollars to look away I probably wouldnt notice you there. Thats how transfixed he had me. I watched and took in every move his body made, his dancers, the set, the lyrics everything. When the song came on my little radio I would dance all around my room. I'd even cut friends off the phone so I could sing and dance along to it. Thats how much I loved that video and song....thats how much I loved Micheal. By 11 I was old enough to appreciate him and understand how genius and far ahead of his time he was; even if it was just by me loving that song. There are many other songs that I loved, songs that if I am in the car and they are played on the radio I turn it up, start dancing (yes all in my seat lol) , singing along and smiling.

There will be NO one else to come after him nor is there anyone before him who could capture a nation and influence generations who only knew him when he was grown (including me) and those who knew of him through the 80's and 90's babies who grew up and used his inspiration and influence to incorporate his lyrics and dance moves in their song. My future kids will hear about Michael and see him if be from the records I play (yes I will have at least one at that time), from the videos I will play either on the internet, on blue ray or maybe even the DVD player if that doesnt go the way of the 8-track LOL.

Michael you will be missed more that I or many of your other fans can ever express in words. So where ever you are, if you can read our hearts to know how we truely feel.... we love you! Rest in Peace Michael. Hopefully you will experience the peace that you deserved on your short stay with us on earth.
