Dear Kel, how can I ever begin to share with you the impact that your beautiful son has had on my life before and since his passing? I remember as a young teenager, your gorgeous son was the first man I ever had lurid thoughts about! I found hope and inspiration in Michael's lyrics which got me through some of the darker times in my youth. You know, I always thought I'd get to have a vodka and a chat with Michael. I never suspected that I would never get the chance to. After dealing with the trauma and shock of his death, I realised a few things about myself and life. I had never had my drink with Michael because it was one of my many aspirations which I had never had the courage to persue. The regret that followed was greater than any fear I'd ever experienced. I made a promise to myself and to Beautiful Michael that I would never again be too scared to persue my wildest dreams. For me his death would not only be a tragedy and shock that was immeasurable, but also a catalyst which has changed my life for the better. I will not let his passing be in vain. So often his uplifting lyrics fill my head...“I told you that we could fly, cos we all have wings, but some of us don't know why”. I never used to know why....he has shown me that I must use my wings or face a life of regret. Everytime I get a step closer to where I want to go, I share a toast to Michael, the one who gave me the courage to spread my wings and dare to fly. Kelland, I give thanks everyday for the miracle that was and continues to be Michael. I really want you to know how he continues to affect so many people in such a positive way. Although he no longer walks among us I know his ethereal charm and magical spirit will always be present. You are right to believe he is watching over you, his presence is indisputable. Thank you for sharing your Michael through this website, I think it's a really cathartic experience for everyone who was ever enchanted with him. My warmest regards to you and your family, especially Tigerlily. My thoughts will be with you this November 22nd.
