We'll miss you MJ...

I like many others had forgotten about your existence. You seemed to a ghost of your past and I could care less about. But your departure has reminded me, like many others how much a part of our lives you were.This may seem like a very emotional note, but the truth is, that your passing away has struck a chord which indeed has made me emotional.You and your music was an integral part of my childhood. And with your going away, that part of my childhood has woken up again. And it feels a bit sad.I have countless memories of your music and what it signifies to me - Singing Heal the World and We are the World in the school chorus, watching the breathtaking videos of Thriller, JAM, Bad, Black or white and so on and so forth. And imitating those steps!I especially remember the video -Remember the Time whose egyptian theme particularly attracted me.I remember the crude Mai ka lal jais kisen jokes on all MJ wanna be's.I like many others of my generation had all of your music albums which me and my sister played over and over again till we had fallen asleep.Your music had a power, a power like none else -the power to unite people across all boundaries, regions, languages, race, sex.You and your music will be missed. Rest in Peace - the one and only Michael Jackson
