What can I say as I lift my glass in tribute and rememberance of such a great man? Thoughts of Michael speed through my head: Michael comforting a grief stricken child; Michael adorably nervous backstage, even after so many shows; Michael giving it his all during a performance, ever the professional, even after hearing heartbreaking news. Today I celebrate the man, not the celebrity, the sensitive, humble, sweet, caring man. Thank you for all you've given to me, Michael. The friendships, the music, and the insights into both myself and those around me. Happy Birthday, and may your soul find a small measure of peace knowing that you are always remembered in our hearts.
