I'm sitting here listening to my favorite Michael Jackson song "You Are Not Alone" and just loving the music. I still find it hard to believe that he is gone I wonder how many folks out there feel this way? I've always been a MJ fan and I never thought that his passing would touch me like this It still bothers me. I have been watching the whole sad story unfold and I look at how many people are supposedly missing him, but never showed him love in life when it counted I really miss him I know this thread may be locked, but I just wanted to see how many folk on here actually still miss Mike? He really was a great/magical person

Of course we still Michael! It's no way I can wake up one day missing him, then wake up the next day and say "I'm over it". Michael will forever be missed.

It's Tragic but that's life I guess my heart goes out to his mother and kids that's all I can say

nurseV said:

Michael is my idol, so it's still is weird that ... he's dead. The other day, (I can't remember what I was doin'.) Well anyway, Mike crossed my mind, not about his death or music or anything, I just thought about Michael Jackson. Than in my mind I kind of wasked the question, "Michael Jackson is dead?"

I agree. I guess I could have said it a better way-I just got over takened with sadness about the whole thing.

I know-I saw that pic of her recently and the pain in her face said it all.

U know it kinda brings it all home-not to be morbid or anything, but it's something none can escape. It's sad that a great talent/person like Michael Jackson had to pass in such a terrible way. Every time I hear one of his songs it just makes me so sad and I know that he would not have wanted that.

The summer without Michael/2009. Died in June, buried in September.

I love this man, of course i miss him and my heart aches. I can only imagine how his family feels

I'm pretty sure I won't ever fully move on from this.

TotalAlisa said:

Aww-I'm gonna cry again

i think its just now sinking in that hes actually gone

first two months were surreal

purplesweat said:

It really hurts, but I pray for his family I can't even imagine how they feel.

dearmother said:

watching the media coverage sure as hell didn't help, that was brutal

dearmother said:

Yeah I had to stop watching it-it only makes me feel worse. I hope MJ is finally resting in peace

yeah *sigh*

dearmother said:

I have to admit for the first two weeks I was shocked but as time went on, when it sunk in that MJ was in heaven, I relaxed. All the madness that has happened is really unnecessary though. And in a way, Michael's finally free.

Timmy84 said:

So true-he must have been in so much pain and now he is free. Nicely said

Timmy84 said:

But he's not with his kids any more, that's the part that stops me from being happy

purplesweat said:

His kids are gonna be alright eventually.

I have discovered and re-discovered songs I never enjoyed before.

"Smile" is really, really good now in the wake of things. I never payed it any mind before.

Kinda aggravating that if that doctor had picked up the phone and dialed 911 immediately things could possibly have turned out different. Maybe it could have been a wake-up call for MJ to change his ways.

But like someone else said... that's life.

dearmother said:

Yeah, I hope it´s sinding in. I am not that depressed anymore, but certain things can bring the tears back - like yesterday´s funeral. But I just can´t say to myself

because

Seeing his children breaks my heart. He had so much to live for and despite all the madness in his life, I am sure Mike loved life. I´m outta here cause I am in tears again...

BTW, I have always loved Smile. To me, it´s one of the most beautiful songs he did. Can´t stand listening to it after his death tough. Same goes for Gone Too Soon.

I feel the same way. For the first two or three weeks after his death, I just cried all the time and felt really depressed and shitty. I constantly thought of him all day. I still think about him every day, but I don't feel so depressed. I still cry at least 3 times a week, but now the overwhelming sadness I once felt has been replaced by this feeling of emptyness. You know, like when you lose something you loved so much, but you are now in this acceptance mode, knowing that you will never get it back, You know you will survive and life will go on, but everytime you think about it, it still hurts like hell.

So weird though 'cause I always thought that those feelings were only reserved for when you lose a loved one, but is not true. I was sad when Aaliyah or Tupac died, but nothing like the sadness I felt when Mike died. I guess I just thought he would always be there, not fully realizing he was only human and one day would also die.

Don't y'all get TOO upset, despite everything, I'm sure they'll be alright. It's time for THEM to mourn. But I'm sure as years go by, we'll finally be over this phase.

Timmy84 said:

Well, of course, that happens with everything upsetting but I'm not sure we can say that they, his own kids, will ever be completely "alright" considering he was a single dad.

purplesweat said:

And how much they loved him and he loved them.

I know the kids will probably be alright, even though I am not sure how one can be alright loosing a parent at such a young age cause I never lost one, but I know that Madonna has always suffered for loosing her mum, for example, (at least that´s what she once said). Watching them, they seem so strong, especially Paris. But it hurts so much to know that he won´t see them grow up.

dag said:

Not only that, but let's hope that Katherine doesn't die any time soon too. I know is kind of bad to say it, but she is really getting to be that age. I think Katherine needs to be involved in the life of those kids, but I think someone else (younger) needs to be the primary caretaker, just in case something were to happen to Katherine.
