An Ode to Michael Jackson

Like millions of people in this world who were rudely shocked by Michael Jackson's sudden passing, I am still trying to deny he's gone. But know its not true. He is. He really is. I am so sad ; a feeling like this I have not felt in such a long time.
Michael, you have touched the lives of me and my sisters . You brought us together in our toughest moments after my dad died and with your Thriller videos we had something to refrain us from being sad all the time.
Like everyone else who had what they called 'a Michael Jackson moment' mine was braving 'hard labour' working in a darned Bangladeshi takeaway in Liverpool in 1995 and paid 24.99 pounds out of my first 50pound /week wages on your double History CD which were released in July of that year and remembering smiling all the way in the bus because I had something so grand in my bag ( CD in a Virgin plastic bag) although I knew I was probably going to starve all week with no money as we were so skint you wouldn't believe it.

I love you Michael. You are the greatest and always will be.
