I was just 14 when Michael first came into my life. I was just being born when he was already 12 years old.
I remember the year well. It was 1984. MTV played an INXS video and I was instantly hooked.
What developed in the years following was admiration, respect, adoration, and love.
I found out from my ex-husband of Michaels passing. I won't ever forget that day either.
I have never screamed like that in my life. I cried and cried for weeks. Then I slipped into denial. Denial that he was really gone.
Sadly this denial also kept me from his music. If I listened to his voice I knew he was gone.
Now nearly four years after I am facing the grief. Facing the fact that he is gone but it isn't easy and the hurt is bad.
I loved you Michael. I was fourteen and I was being abused by my father. You were there, you kept me grounded, you helped me to stay alive. I love you... Always.
