Welcome, Jean! Your story is a familiar one with most, if not all, of us in MJ's Army. I searched for anything I could find on Michael on the Internet to ease my inexplicable pain and grief. I then "discovered" not only Michael's music, but also the humble, caring human being, as well. To my amazement, I was not alone in my feelings and am so grateful and thankful to be a part of this wonderful, supportive group of people! If you ever need someone to listen to you or a shoulder to cry on, we are all here for you! I love you more! Jacque

A BIG welcome, Norma!! We are so glad you are here! And thank you, Gerri, for inviting Norma to visit our forum! Wow, your Black Hills Gold Jewelry sounds wonderful! Although you and I are about the same age, I didn't get into Michael's music or really appreciate it until after his death. Now I can't get enough of it!! Or enough of Michael!! All of us here feel the same way that you do, Norma. We all wish we could go back in time and could have been there for Michael, to be his friend and to show him unconditional love. We all have been mourning, not only for Michael, but for the great loss our world has experienced, a loss of innocence. We have lost a friend, a champion and a hero. The world is definitely an emptier and less joyful place since Michael left it. It is amazing, but Michael has inspired a change in all of us here and has made us want to be better people. Check out Michael's 30 day challenge thread and see where we have started to make changes already! Michael will always be in my heart, also, and a part of me forever. I would love to see your channel on You Tube! Would you mind adding your link here? Remember, we are all here for each other. I have found great love and support within this group, as I have no one in my daily life with whom I can discuss my feelings for Michael, not even my husband. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts! I love you more! Jacque

Hi Norma! A warm welcome to you, and thanks so much for sharing your story. LOVE your avatar, by the way! I think we all want it Yes, please share your Youtube channel with us. You are lucky that you truly appreciated Michael and his talent all your life. Most of us here liked him, but he and his music fell by the wayside as we went about our own lives, and we forgot all about him. So that's why now, at least for me, I feel guilty that I didn't appreciate him when he needed his fans most As for the haters, I know it's really hard to deal with them... their stupid comments can be so hurtful Next time just tell them to go to Youtube for the TRUTH, or invite them to come here! We have the truth about his trials posted under Favorite Michael Videos. MJ's Army is carrying on Michael's message of love and helping others, just like you, to heal. Please check out the Messages From Michael category... I hope you're willing to connect with him like we have! Namaste, Mal

Hi Gerri,
I am glad you are with us and it seems like you keep fast pace with connecting in spirit with Michael. Wow, that's awesome. As I originally come from non-spirit life before so I think it will take me sometime to learn, practice and I really hope one day I can communicate with Mike. That'll be amazing !
With love always,
Ann Nguyen

Hi all new members: Karen, Carol, Norma
I am so glad you have found our family of Michael's love !
Your stories have brought tears to my eyes, and yes Michael has inspired millions of lives, including me. Since the day I became an MJ lover, I always try to be a better person and try to follow his loving and caring words to the world and humanity, and his charity works. It even comes to my mind about the idea of me wanting to help or run a small charity organization in my country to help children and women who unfortunately have to go through soooo much sorrow and pain in their lives.
I am sorry about the hard time and painful experience you had to go through in your life, Karen. And you are right, I can really relate to that pain and Michael is really a big heal and inspiration because he was just as lonely as we are even though he was loved by millions...
And Norma, I so agree with you, the more rude words the haters throw to the universe, the more loves and new fans of new generations Mike will have, and he will live forever in our hearts
Yesterday was the happiest day of my life because... I received the most amazing present ever .... the "Dancing the Dream" book by Michael, and his music CD with his recent photos and especially his live concert DVD in Bucharest which i never had or seen before. My yesterday was truly magical (also it's the first day I went to see Mike's This Is It for 3 times in a day) !
I just can't stop loving Mike (the love just getting stronger and magnificent) and I feel thankful for being touched so deeply by him and he has brought me into this great group/forum of Mike's soldiers of love...
I love you all and cant wait the skype call and circle of love with us ALL together,
Ann Nguyen

Hello, My name is Laura and I am from Maryland originally,but live in Tennessee. I am married and have one child. I joined because I wanted to talk to others who are grieving about MJ. It has been hard for me and I think it will help with the grieving process.

A warm welcome, Laura!
You have definitely found the right place! All of us here have been and/or are still going through our own grieving process over Michael. I felt so confused and lost and didn't understand what I was experiencing, until I found this wonderful group of caring people. I've said it before and I'll say it again. This group has been my lifeline and my support system, when no one around me could understand what I was going through. But I can't blame my family and friends, as they haven't been touched by Michael the way I was.
Welcome home, Laura! Jacque

Hi, My name is Alice and I live in Arkansas. I have liked Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5/ Jacksons for a long time. I had the Greatest Hits and Thriller and Off the Wall in LP and later CD. Since Michael's death I have learned a lot more about him and his other music and videos and have visited You Tube many times, watching both fan made videos and his interviews over the years. I have purchased a lot more of his later music as well as two later Jacksons CDs and I love them all! He was so strong to deal with all he had to deal with, and I admire that so much. I have seen This Is It seven times and it's really good. I just couldn't stop until I got enough ha ha. I have gone through periods of sadness, depression and anger since his death and it has made me very cynical about the media. I quit watching tv for the most part and now am very selective about what I choose to look at on the net cuz of all the negativity I still see about him there. I used to go to a popular entertainment/gossip site for all the MJ news but after it seemed they were very rude to him and his legacy I quit going there b/c it was making me mad/depressed and I didn't want to be supporting them by visiting there. I had liked to read the blogs there and participate a little b/c it made me feel connected, as there was nobody else around me to talk to about what I was feeling about Michael. Glad I found your site. Michael is very special and amazing and I love his work and am glad that more people are becoming fans now. Like many others have said, I grieve his death as if he were family or a dear friend, as if I had known him well. More than I have for anyone before. I feel better when I remember that there is life after death.

Alice,
you are SO VERY WELCOME, I'm glad you found us! Thanks for posting and joining....you certainly came to the RIGHT PLACE! You are not alone I hope you take time to catch up and read about what we are doing and our mission.....which is continuing with the loving mission he and so many others in this planet started. We NEED TO HEAL THE WORLD ASSAP!! WITH THE L.O.V.E.
This has been a spiritual journey for all of us....we have awaken and now we have to put our butts on the gear! so much work to do!
I thought I was done with the grieving but something had happened this week that I've cry every day....I think it is because I'm beginning to get the picture....or better said, I'm seeing it bigger and bigger every time....I comprehend more things now.....does that make sense? (sometimes my english is not correct)
Anyway......welcome to LOVE
GiveIn

Hey Givein, I had the same experience this week...so many tears again and I had been feeling so much more positive before that... I think we are all tapped into some collective unconscious that is energy, and we are feeling and healing that energy within ourselves. Maybe? Peace, karen

Hi Everyone,
My name is Yoly and I live in HK. I also lived in Toronto but that was quite a long time ago. It's cold there! I work in China and need to commute everyday ... it's 1.5 hours each way; quite a lot of time spent
I know Michael since I was a kid. The 1st song was Ben from the radio; followed by One Day in Your Life, Never Can Say Goodbye, and so on ... Then I guess I saw him everytime when I watched TV during Beat It & Thriller's times ...
However, I always take it for granted and assume he's always there for me. Although I never pay attention to those allegations and whatever acuses made on him, I feel I've missed so much until after he crossed the light. I regret that I didn't show the support when he was in his most difficult times. I listen to his music each day when I'm traveling, still in pain, in tears and miss him so dearly
I'm inpsired by his music, his passion for people and the earth. I see him not only the King of Pop ~ the best entertainer but also an angel with a sweet heart of gold.
He lives on in my heart ...
