Remembering Michael - June 25th around the world

cant believe it was 2009... still feels so recent.
love you MJ.
 
If I could tell you something, anything, I would tell you how beautiful you are. You touched my soul at an unexpected moment. With your unspoken words you danced straight into my heart and never left. On that faithful night you left a piece of you with me at the same instance a piece of me went with you. I don’t won’t say “died”. I won’t! You just went to a place you always belonged, leaving me behind to put the pieces together. Now, now I see the light. And I keep that piece you left close to my heart. I won’t let them tear you apart!
 
What a sadsadsadsadsad.........day:(.
Love you for all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You are loved Michael Jackson. Today just reinforces that love. If I could have any wish, it would be that your spirit could come back and envelop us all, just for a little while. But that is perhaps a selfish wish as you have peace now. You were, are and always will be a beautiful soul.

A small but steady stream of visitors made their way to 2300 Jackson St. in Gary Saturday, posing for selfies in front of Michael Jackson's boyhood home on the seventh anniversary of the 'King of Pop's' death.
Visitors came from northwest Indiana and around the country, making sure their trip to the Chicago area included a stop at the white two-bedroom bungalow in which Jackson and his eight siblings spent their early years and where the Jackson 5 got their start.
Larcile Gilmore, of Gary, and her daughter Darneshia Childs, of Arlington, Texas, took pictures of Jackson's home, the monuments and the house next door, which Jackson's estate purchased and filled the windows with large photos of Jackson.
Childs, in town to see her brother compete in a fighting tournament in Fort Wayne, said she wanted to accompany her mother, who tries to visit the house on the anniversaries of Jackson's birth and death. Gilmore said Jackson was a big part of the family's household when her children were growing up.

She's happy the house has been turned into a memorial, she said, and is hopeful a gift shop or museum might open one day there.
"It makes you feel good. He is a good legend," Gilmore said.</aside>"It shows a lot of people who live here in Gary what you can become. It gives people hope," Childs said.
Growing up in the city, Gilmore said she never thought about visiting Jackson's home. Now it seems more important. "It gives people motivation," she said.
Jackson suffered a fatal heart attack on June 25, 2009, following an overdose of prescription pain medication Propofol. Since then, fans have flocked to his Gary home on the anniversary of his death to pay their respects.
Gilmore and Childs said they are unwavering in their support of Jackson despite media reports this past week that pornographic images were found in the star's bathroom and bedroom at his Neverland Ranch in California. The Jackson estate rebuked the Radar Online account, which cited police reports, saying "Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls 'content that appears to be obtained off the internet or through unknown sources' is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael's passing."
They say it is not fair to keep bringing up the past since Jackson is no longer alive to defend himself.
Those visiting the home Saturday tended to agree.
Sheila Allen, of Winter Haven, Fla., traveling through the area looking at cars, said she decided to stop and pay tribute to Jackson's memory.
"I am a fan, absolutely," Allen said.
Allen said while you cannot separate the musician from his alleged acts, she doubted the veracity of reports released in the days leading up to the anniversary of his death.
Katie and Rhea Melrose, who relocated to Greenfield from San Diego, said they were on their way to Chicago for the weekend when they decided to stop in Gary to see the singer's home.
"I didn't even know it was the anniversary of this death," Rhea Melrose said. The couple didn't want to pass up an opportunity to do they've been wanting to do since moving from California a year ago.
"We really wanted to come up," Katie Melrose said.
Both were born in the early 1980s and Michael Jackson's music was always No. 1.
"I actually didn't read about (the pornography) until today. I have a hard time believing it," Rhea Melrose said. "I still love his music. It's time to give it a rest."
"The media is just trying to make him look bad for no reason," Katie Melrose said.

Love you Michael, always and forever! You're still the same inspiration and role model to me ever since I first discovered you - and I'm glad to have become part of such a loving fanbase.

Hugs to everyone!

It still hurts.
I should have gone to sleep early and instead I've been listening to his music, watching videos, viewing pics, reading and browsing. I guess it will always be a mixture of celebration, love, joy and sadness. On this date the sadness win though. Seven years and I still get this lump in my chest, this emptiness, as if I don't know what to do with myself.

I love you Michael.
 
Thank you all so much for the pix at Forest Lawn-and just the pix of everywhere. I'm glad there doesn't seem to be any "craziness" this year at Forest Lawn-it seems to be very beautiful and serene.
