What could I possibly say that hasn't already been said? About this site, about Michael? I could tell you that I honestly think of him everyday. Or about the time I saw INXS in concert, 13 years ago, or about the concert that my Mom wouldn't let me go to, because the tickets were $55. (for 2nd row!!). How about that “Never Tear Us Apart” was the first song my husband and I danced to at our wedding in 1994? Or that we went to Australia for our honeymoon? I could even mention how listening to Michael sing actually inspired me to quit my nowhere job and go back to school.
INXS and especially Michael have been such a large part of my life, so much it's frightening and so sad to think that he's actually gone. So, I too choose to believe he's still around, everywhere, watching. Watching Tiger growing, watching his family and friends move on, watching those of us who never met him, but knew him well try to be happy without him in the world.
I don't think there are words to explain how much we loved and admired him, it's such a strange thing to love someone you haven't met. Many people don't understand it, but to me, it just shows how special our beautiful Michael was (oh, was he beautiful). I've never been one to latch on to celebrities, and I've certainly outgrown my teenage rock-star crush era, so how can I care so much that he's gone, and about cherishing what he's left us? He's left us so many gifts, in the form of his words and songs, his divine voice, which I can hear anytime, just by thinking about it. And, his most precious gift of all, his daughter, it makes me smile just to know she's here, and a part of him, each time I see a photo she looks more like him.
So, I've come to this lovely site, looked around, read the stories, and shed what I'm sure will not be the last of my tears for a man I never had the honor of meeting, and I'm in awe that he still has this power over me.
So Kell, and all else who read this, may Love, Peace and Happiness find you always. Know that we were blessed, if only for too short a time, with the presence of someone special.
All my Love, forever,
Winnie
