Like many of the other friendly contributors to this thread, I have been wondering why all of a sudden I developed a deep admiration and respect for Michael and an obsessive interest in finding out the Truth and... making the World a better place. I am a woman in her mid 40's, with often a hectic professional schedule.
Prior to Michael's death, I had relatively little interest in "the man", I had a few CD's and that was it! I heard about Michael coming to the O2, I found the announcement for the concerts somewhat "surreal" and never thought about getting tickets; I carried on with my busy life instead! Then Michael "died" and a close friend (who happens to be a musician) told me that the world had lost a genius and once of its nicest guy, this got me curious and ... I did my research work, bought numerous CDs and DVDs and discovered an artist and man I never knew and cried watching the memorial. It could have been the end of the matter as I got back into my busy life!
But it was not meant to be! One weekend in July (a Sunday late evening), I went for a run in one of the Royal Parks as I do often (I am the Running Girl
), when I saw from a distance somebody with an "unusual" look... I continued my run and passed this person (in the meanwhile a car had stopped nearby to talk with this person)... then the car went and this person called me... and I felt my legs wobbling because the gentle American voice and the looks made me think of Michael and I just could not think straight anymore, I was in a state of total shock...
This is the event that started my search for the truth and eventually got me on MJDHI.
Do I believe that we may be the chosen people? Everything happens for a reason and Michael's message is definitely one I believe strongly in and I am prepared to stand up for... so who knows
