I love him because he never stopped doing what he believed he was meant to do. Criticism and judgement from others hurt him, but did not make him waver in what he knew to be true about himself and why he was here. He wanted to make a difference and he did. He wanted to be remembered forever and he will be. I admire him because he accomplished his dreams in spite of his shyness, dislike of his appearance, lack of a childhood. He did not use these as excuses to not follow his heart. I love him because of his love of children, his own childlike innocence and love of fun. He inspires me because he was always expanding his thinking about what was possible, eager to learn new things, willing to work hard to make things happen, and not afraid to be different.
I love the messages in his lyrics, the way he sang and danced with passion and the way he connected with his fans. Whatever people think or say about him they can never say that he wasted his 50 years. I do not believe in death and I know he chose the perfect time to leave this world. I am happy that a new generation of the children he wanted to help is now learning about him. I have been inspired by his example to live and enjoy every day, say yes to life and make a difference in whatever way is mine to do.

Well said Brenda!
The more you learn about Michael Jackson, the more remarkable he becomes, in my opinion.
What he had to endure and the way he endured it, astounds me every single time I think about it...
Very beautiful Brenda, I wish I could write the way you do, but I can't so I'll just say thanks for writing it, because those are my sentiments too!
