Do you think that Ryan White's family are still in contact with Michael?

whose ryan white ( i feel stupid asking this question)

 

[emwill02]

Michaels friend back in the late 80s early 90s who was 12 and got HIV/AIDS from having a blood transfusion and MJ helped people at his school and around the world see that you could talk to and be friends with someone with the disease without getting it yourself even if you hugged them, as he was being excluded at school from the other kids, he died i think in 94 or something like that.

[emwill02]

[Satyagrahi]

How is it any of our business if they are or not? *shrug*

 

[fredastaire]

:lol: It was just a question.

 

[emwill02]

I know we don't know anything about the family since around the time Ryan died but I just wondered what you all thought, it was not supposed to sound intrusive!

I don't know, but I hope so. Michael really helped better Ryan's life, I'm sure they're grateful to him.
