Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

By TJ | June 26, 2009

I remember vividly the first time i was exposed to Michael Jackson.

I was about 10 years old and on summer break from grade school. My mother rented me a bunch of movies from the local video store to prevent my boredom.
One of those videos was Michael Jackson’s “Moonwalker”, and i have been under the spell of his magic ever since that day.

My love for Michael has undoubtedly shaped me into the man i am. I have felt his presence with me through all the milestones - My first job, my first car, my first breakup. He’s been so much more than an idol, He was my friend.

What has always stood out to me as one of his most admirable traits is his strength and determination. For a large part of his life he has had the unimaginable pressure of rumors and lies and vicious attacks to ruin him, but he has always stood up tall and defiant to the negativity.

Over the past few months, Michael and his team had been working hard to create the greatest show in HIStory. This was a chance to show the world again what a spectacular entertainer he was. July 13th was to be opening night…The official ‘comeback’,

Sadly, that day will now never come, But Michael had nothing to prove. He had dedicated his life to his career. He won every award there was to win, broke every record there was to break, all the while uniting people and making the world smile.

We are all mourning a terrible, terrible loss, but MICHAEL WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THE HEARTS OF US HE TOUCHED.

Rest In Peace Michael. I love you and miss you dearly.
