Miss you, really..........




After all these days, after all the media around the world discussing, memorizing, mourning over this legendary man in the history, I still can't take the idea that Michael Joseph Jackson, the man who should always exist in our lives, has passed away without any alarm, into my mind.



I didn't know Michael Jackson well, to be honest, even till now, Michael still holds his favorite mysterious image to the world, and of course, to me.


Before his shocking death, I have never tried to deeply understand this man.
Although I've known he is an amazing music artist, I didn't know how many great things he had done to this world, his loved ones, and the things he really cared about.

Until today, after I've sit there in front of a TV watching the news reviewing over and over again the video of him lying deadly on a litter in an ambulance leaving the driveway of his home, the big gate, the crowds, shouting fans outside the house, the coverage..........I can't stop crying.







I feel like a part of me has been also taken away as our Peter Pan left us.
And it's a really strange emotion and experience for me.
Maybe some think I'm a bit overreacted, but my dear friends, after all these years, after I had somehow been foolish guided by rubbish tabloid reports, after I cried over Michael's death, after I tried hard to understand Michael Jackson, in addition to his great music, I found out I was one of those ignorant people who judged Michael out of nowhere.


The evil press teased him as Jacko just because he suffered from vitiligo, a rare skin disease, so he had no choice but to wear makeups to cover the whole face and show the best part of him in front of the world.

What's wrong with that?


He is a superstar.
Just like Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and all those greats in the history...




But to me, he is greater.

He loves childen.

Have you heard of his song - Childhood?

He lost his childhood while he was busy recording every successful album and was terrified all the time when his father holding a belt in hands watching he and his brothers practicing.



So he built the Neverland, an amusement park that is for every poor child that needed help.

But in the end, people judged him with ignorance.
And some evil children betrayed him for money.






There's a lot I wanna say to you for Michael's sake.
To help him, for the tinest bit, let others know, HE IS THE GREATEST ARTIST WHO HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD THE MOST.


I'm not saying he is perfect.
He is strange in some ways, but is truly innocent.
He just did things at his will no matter others take it or not.

You know what, I support his behavior.




I don't know how to fully express my regret and sadness.
uhhhhh I just can't stop crying everytime when I see his greatness.





His love for the world
His love for everything






We are sad because you leave, Michael.
We miss you so much.





We love you because we know what kind of person you are.
We know what you have done to help others.




We lost you.
We can never get you back.





Our Peter Pan is nowhere to be found on this land.
But he will always live in our hearts, our memories, our history, our generation.










Truly, he is, and will always be a great man that worth looking up to.

“Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It’s not nice.” – Michael Jackson

“I’m never pleased with anything, I’m a perfectionist, it’s part of who I am.” – Michael Jackson

“The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.” – Michael Jackson

“People write negatives things, cause they feel that’s what sells. Good news to them, doesn’t sell.” – Michael Jackson

“I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we’re a show business family and we all work.” – Michael Jackson

Very beautiful post, Annie.
The day Michael Jackson passed away was a day we lost one of the greatest people of all time: the King of Pop. But he was more than just that; his contribution to the world is immeasurable. In spite of all of this he was accused, criticized, abused, destroyed by the media and their blinded followers. At the end of the day one must think for themselves, gather their own proof, and finally realize that the day Michael Jackson passed away was the day an innocent hero died.

Thank you, Jon.
Your words are beautiful as well =]

Michael Jackson's greatness is really immeasurable, just like you said. And his influence on people around the world is big enough to let people be willing to receive his messages from his music - save the earth, care about the poor and love the children. I think this is the greatest thing he did and I truly hope as his spirits never die, these beautiful remindings will also be passed on with Michael's music and his heroic deeds.



BTW, I hope my grammar is OK.
haha


Thank you once again, Jon.
