Around Michael in his last weeks- a fan's story

Yeah, when he was singing thriller my friend said: I want to know what's on that shirt.
So I answered: curls for my girls and he was like Huh!?! how do you know that?
 
yeah, I'm like so many posting here, I just kept thinking of you when watching the numbers he did with that t-shirt on - hope you're ok...x
 
That was beautiful to hear, thank you so much :)

Its like Michael said.. as long as you come into this world knowing you're loved and go out knowing the same, then everything in between can be dealt with.
 
I was too busy taking in MJ's voice and movements during Earth Song so didn't notice the t-shirt until I came on here after watching the movie and read everyone's posts. Those Ed Hardy pants were so distracting also, because they looked ridiculously baggy on him. I wish he replaced them with a simple pair of black jeans or something.
 
Thanks for sharing, Michael was such an amazing , gentle, loving and caring man. I miss him so much!

Yes, your quote is exactly my only peace right now...
I went to the movies again today...Oh my, people in the cinema were saying "shit, why did he go?" after his speech in Earth Song. And at the end they were shouting God bless you, we love you Michael!! It was so emotional. .
LOVE

:hug:
 
I'm crying so much...
I'm brazilian and never never had the opportunity to get close to Michael. But I know he was a very special person. And with each passing day, thank God there are people who share with the world what the fans only knew.

Thank you!
This is beautiful.
I miss you so, Michael...
 
I know I should not have read this ... :cry: ... I could not hold back the tears. I'll see the movie again tomorrow ... :(

Thanks so much for sharing your precious memories! :angel:
 
... I admit I feel a little ashamed to post here. I feel like I could have done so much more for Michael, or at least I wish there could have been any other thing I could have done for him. But living in the other corner of this crazy world doesn't help that much. All this years following him on the shades... keeping him on my heart and waiting for this come back... all the plans to make it one way or the other to London in February... all the memories... and now he is gone.

Cris, I came to this forum for a friend told many of us about your story. I might sound repetitive, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank YOU for being there, for showing him all your love and by doing so, for assure him how much we love him. I am trying hard to understand and feel your words, to make them mine in order to understand how much he really loved us. TII has given me the chance to feel HIM once again, to feel HIS love to ME, to ALL of us again, in such a beutiful and personal way.

I thank you for being an instrument to show HIM OUR love. I thank you for being an instrument to show US HIS love. And I thank you for being giving a little light of happiness in these so hard days.

Seeing TII and knowing about "Curls for my girls"... I have no words to explain what I feel. Please take care. Plase keep the faith. Please know you have changed a bit of our worlds: the world of we, his fans, and the world of Michael Jackson, the man we love.
 
Your story has touched my very soul. You've been blessed Cris. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can't stop crying...
 
OMG! That was the shirt…
Michael is so kind and so amazing, this is so heartbreaking!
This story should reach the press… Let them know how much he loved his fans.

Love you Michael
:pray:
 
What I would give to have gotten a chance to meet Michael.

What an absolute privilege.

I always believed it would happen one day. I get chills thinking about episodes I used to run in my head - and still do - about being in the same room as him. It never happened, it was all my imagination..

But it makes it alright knowing, not even doubting, that he loved fans like me, like you, like us, with all his heart.
 
Thank you Cris so much for sharing this with us.

It makes me feel a bit better knowing that Michael knew we loved him and that we thought of him all the time.
We can say for sure that he didn't die alone. He died around his family, fans and friends who loved him.
 
Cris123!

When I saw the movie and the shirt, I thought about you. I remembered this thread as well. It must be hard for you, but I felt felt at peace because he was wearing your shirt. Something calmed me down and made me smile. The shirt is a symbol of love. The love was always there for him, please remember that.

I don’t know why I’m writing this long story. Perhaps because I am afraid of forgetting, of letting go. Constantly thinking and writing of him keeps me sane. And because I want to share with you how I perceived Michael, the wonderful, incredible man, behind the superstar. I know you understand his true essence and need some peace in this crazy aftermath.

I was a fan just like most of us: fell in love with his voice first, during the Dangerous tour, and followed him from afar, always in my heart, since then. For various reasons, I wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to travel to his various appearances. But this June, the stars aligned for me and I was able to go to LA and meet him. I hang out with some of his dearest fans who had been by his side for years, loyal, discreet and showering him with love and attention. They are wonderful people, united by a common passion.

On my first trip there I saw him briefly every day, going to or coming from the rehearsals, movie studio or the movies (he saw UP). I was in heaven when I held his hand and got chills when I heard his truly angelic voice in my ear. He was amazing: gracious, patient, always wanting to let fans know they are the most important thing besides his kids. No matter how tired he was (because he indeed used to work more than 8 hours each day), he would at least acknowledge us with a waive and a smile. From the first day I felt a burning need to just thank him for everything and shower him with gifts, supporting letters and words of love. I gave him letters, pictures, classical music CDs (the Lonely Shepherd, David Garret, etc).

One day I had the immense privilege of briefly talking to him alone. I talked about the concerts, thanking him for his hard work and reinforcing to him that he has this unique power to make millions of people happy just by his essence, his presence. I said that despite this, what matters to me is that he was happy. He said he will be if we are happy. I almost cried then at his unearthly selflessness if it weren’t for my nerves. “He is so beautiful, inside and out” is what was going through my mind that moment. He thanked me and said I love you a few times, with a peaceful demeanor. In one of my previous letters I had described to him how I envisioned his grand finale in the last concerts, the songs and the imagery and message that could have solidified him in history as the greatest entertainer. But guess what, he said these concerts were not about him, but about the world and the message of love….He is human, but indeed a prophet of love to me. This exchange really reinforced that Michael is a special, chosen soul and I was fortunate to see first hand this side of him, above and beyond his superstar persona. This is a priceless memory, but the funniest/ silliest is when two of my friends convinced me to join them serenade the whole I just can’t stop loving you to Michael twice, near his garden and then on intercom 

In his last two days in this world, I gave him two letters and two gifts: a fantasy book for him and the kids and a shirt he actually wore to rehearsals and on stage on Wednesday. Fate would have it that the last time he danced on stage he would wear a gift from fans with a message for fans- see the pic below…

The last time I saw him on Wednesday night he smiled, waived, pumped his fist and said I love you. He was in good spirits. My last words to him were “love you so much Michael”.

He is unlike any other. He read our letters and I got confirmation. We really mattered to him. In fact, in his words, “we were his world”. Because he left with these nice words in his mind, I will share a few highlights with you in a subsequent post, because it’s about you too.

Finally and most importantly, this may bring some solace to you, knowing that he didn’t rise to Heaven without a prayer and feeling loved. His kids were praying inside, while two of his fans were praying outside that morning, very hard, fearful, with all the soul. In the end, he wasn’t alone. He was close enough to people he loved the most, people for whom he gave his everything, even his life: his kids and his fans. That’s why I’m sure he will continue to be with us forever. But we need to continue to make our King proud and carry forward his legacy, as his army of love…

Thank' you so much for sharing your story...... if you want to show us some photos of these moments it would be great!!!!
 
:cry: Michael had the sweetest heart. I would've done anything to meet him :(
 
He knew we loved him and that is good for his soul, but we are left heartbroken and crying. I feel more sad when I look at the movie now. I Know Michael wanted to make this concert the best for His children and Fans. He didn't want to die!
 
I saw that t-shirt on the movie.. I didnt know it was from a fan.. :( And I didnt know it was his last rehearsal.. This is all too sad.. This is so depressing.. Im trying to find a logic reason why this happened but I come out empty handed. I will never accept what has happened, it was not supposed to be this way. Til the very end Michael stayed strong and humble.

Michael is the only entertainer who actually takes his time to read through the things people give him and actually wear that ridiculously funny-cute t-shirt.
 
I had seen this very touching post from Cris before seeing the movie, and it made me cry. When I saw TII, I noticed as soon as I saw him with the shirt on, and I whispered to my bf what the story was behind it. Just seeing that, then hearing him do Earth Song (the first time I saw the video for that I was sobbing), thinking about how much he cared and how unfair it was that he was gone and how badly he was treated, and also how much I missed him, I started crying. I couldn't hold back anymore. :(
 
oh wow.....your story made me cry!
You are so lucky that you met Michael, and he was lucky to meet an amazing person like you. Thank you so much for letting him know how much the fans care about him and love him..it really warms my heart. The shirt that you gave him is beautiful! oh Michael loved his fans so much.. the man was all about love. I'm proud to be his fan.

thanks cris for this. i remembered this thread when i saw mj in the movie, and it made me so sad to see michael on his last night.
 
Michael looked so great in your shirt.. the outfit for thriller/earth song :)
Thank you for sharing this to us
very lovely and touching
 
:angel: oh my God, I only just found your story here and have to cry again. Thanks a lot. What a great shirt. I didn't realize it, but next when I watch the movie again I will try to pay attention to it.
He was such a gift to the world, as Steven Spielberg said:
Michael has heightened sensitivity for the crying needs of this world. Through his Heal the World Foundation, he works to preserve this planet's most precious resources - children, and the environment. He feels much of the same responsibility a parent feels - his children are all of our children. Michael brings so much to so many, he is one of the world's most precious resources himself.
