37 years old i have been in love with this band since i was in the 5th grade. i remember michael was the first crush i ever had! i was very shy and had been moved from home to home but all the music gave me a sence of belonging and it gave me an outlet to express myself! i remember when i heard of michaels death because i had just given birth that day to my first son i was so upset i couldnt stop crying it was like i lost a piece of my childhood! i think of him often what a giant loss to music
