Hey guys,

I'm a new member to this forum and I have to say ever since June 25th life has not been the same.

My name is Ashley and I'm from Brooklyn, NY
I've been a fan of Michael since I was a child.

My mom was born the same year as Michael and she grew up listening to his music which is why I grew up adoring him as well as every single member in my family. I can recall my first memories of Michael seeing how I was an 86 baby lol, the first memories came from the "Bad" era and I remember watching our "Moonwalk" VHS every single day. Another memory was during the "Dangerous Era" I remember when they aired "In The Closet" and I was like "wow he's buffed" lol but what I remember the most wa the reaction to "Black or White" when people dogged him for beating the car and grabbing his crotch, I cannot lie because when I was a child I asked "why is he doing that??" come to find out the media tried to set him up because there were actually racial slurs written everywhere. I also remember being so afraid of Thriller up until about 1995, I finally watched the video because I believe "History" was coming out and they kept airing his videos, also that year I became addicted to "Beat It" I guess from watching it so much I did the dance moves and my dad caught me dancing like MJ lol I was so embarrased.

Although I loved MJ all of my life I didnt realize how much he meant to me until he was accused of child molestation again in 2004. When it first happened in 1993 I was a little to young to understand most of it, but I knew he wouldnt hurt anyone. My friends in school would say mean things about him and I would defend him. When I went to college everyone dogged him endlessly and when I found out they were about to read the verdict I broke down because I was so afraid of losing him, I was afraid the media was going to win. But everything turned out ok in the end.

But June 25th was one of the worst days of my life, and I'm still in disbelief
I just wish he was still here, I feel so bad for his family, friends, and fans.

I don't want anyone to think I joined this forum because I'm on the bandwagon, I'm just glad there are so many loyal fans and it is up to us all to keep his legacy alive.
Meeting other fans makes me feel better about Michael and it reminds me how blessed I am to have been alive when this incredible, talented, beautiful, generous, kind and intelligent man aka angel was this planet.

How anyone can be extremly cruel to hurtful to him is beyond me.

I hope to make so many good friends here.
