You already know what I'll be doing that day, but what will YOU do on June 25th to remember Michael? Anything special you would like to share? Please post ideas here for our Army members, thanks!

I am planning and hope to be in London, England on June 25th to visit Madame Tussauds Wax Works Museum to see the latest beautiful one of Michael. Search on-line at 'Madame Tussaud's London - Michael Jackson'. I was there about two years ago but could hardly get near it for the crowds. It was, as if on a stage, with a red backdrop under spotlights and a huge heading facade above saying 'THE KING OF POP', all lit up in gold lights. A wonderful sight. Apart from the crowds I felt a sense of awe, almost fear, sort of feeling his magic and power from across a huge room, that I couldn't go near; I was breathless and my heart was beating fast. Crazy! It was only a waxwork. I shall this time!

WOW I wish I could go see those beautiful figures! 1 day I plan to go to LA to Forest Lawn. SInce Michael was a big fan of comic books, I may go to the movies to see the Green Latern in his honor, I've always loved comics too!

Hello all! I'm coming to you LIVE from LA! Can't stay long, but just posting this to say our MJ family here are having a BLAST, and also crying our eyes out, depending on where we are and who we meet!
Forest Lawn was AMAZING! So beautiful, and surprisingly it is not a sad place, or at least I didn't feel that. From Michael, I felt so much JOY!
I hope you find some comfort in this.
Lots of love,
Mal

It is very comforting to me MAL, I was on Twitter last night when we got #WEMISSMJ to TT and all of a sudden I was in tears! I'm much better today though, my mom and I both have on our MJ shirts and since Michael was such a big fan of comics, we're going to go see the Green Latern in his honor. I also wanted to share this video w/ everyone as well. youtu.be/etU342JmjI0

Glad you were comforted, Dawn. Thanks so much for taking care of the forum while I'm away. I will be back in action on the 2nd!
Hugs,
Mal

I have been in Italy for the past week, doing some creative immersion on a writing retreat, but the space and silence and slow pace of Tuscany has brought so much bubbling to the surface. After I leave here in a week, I will be spending three days in London and Madam Tussaud's in definitely on my list. I need to see MJ standing in front of me, (wax or not).
I'm living vicariously through your posts about LA Mary Ann! I wish I could have been there with all of you and I hope a similar pilgrimage takes place again in the next couple of years.

Hi Melissa!
I wanted to go this year because I know future annual events won't be as "big" or even that emotional. But trust me that just meeting our MJ family in person moved us all to tears. There will be an annual pilgrimage every year at this time, I'm sure, so you will have the opportunity someday.
We spent June 25th mostly at Forest Lawn, with some very happy moments, and some very sad. At least we were able to share our love together, but trust me that we felt the love from those who couldn't be with us.
We know for sure Michael was with us, as well as you, and please believe he felt the love too.
