He Knew.
Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.
I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty,
“I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.”
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.
Our relationship was not “a sham” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Wow…. I have a new level of respect for her now. MJ was a human being… He was not weird, he was just different from all of us. And I’m sure if any other person, went through what he went through in life, they’d be called eccentric and weird as well. I hope people stop all the BS stories about him and just remember that he was human. A man… Who loves what he did and longed for the normal life we’ve all had the privilage to live. I love Michael Jackson. Even as he is a stranger to me, I loved him and I cried when the news reported that he has passed away. That’s the impact he had on people. God rest your soul in peace Michael… Know that you will NEVER be forgotten.

What a sweet and genuine tribute. I love the way she writes.
that is so so sad i will intenerly miss michael jackson no one could ever dance like him he was gifted and he was very talented . R.I.P MJ
Yay for the child molester!
He passed too soon
Those who took his mortality
have lost their own
Their hearts are Brick
This is more than sick!
This is another trick
to teach society that he
can be used and abused
(called to slave rather than serve)
They have no nerve!
But-yes, he can!
He can have a place for us all
Who make This Place-This Planet better
For he stood for wholeness
He stood for innocence
He stood for Choice.
They have no voice!
Michael’s silence is louder
than life – by
resting in us
Telling us we are all okay
We are all loved by God-Allah-Our Creator
Who is greater
Who brings strength
Even when our last length
Seems to unfold.
Michael’s Silence
Is Truth –
A fountain of Youth
Requesting for us to be kind –
Be Respectful, don’t be forgetful
of the real purpose in Life.
Their ship is skinking!
As our active thinking
Learns as he – the info sponge
who sought to apply
all the why’s answered
who sought to apply
Peace as the Answer
Despite confronting conflicts.
They would sell him out
They would sniff out his possessions
And told Michael his: only concessions
that are of worth, are what our Earth –
Our World – our Universe gains;
‘Christianity’ remains
and therefore he gains for his his soul.”
Because they coveted his soul
to mold imbalance
and hence, constantly causing turmoil
But his was a soul of Promise
The soul that colored
The soul that keeps what is his
The soul that enjoys
girls and boys
playing in Innocence.
They took! They are crooks!
They don’t care – they don’t add
They take
They are Social Parasites
Whose might grows
As they know Michael
And penetrate his life –
in ways that emplored him to build Walls
Just to take –
to take his dignity
To take his mind
To take his simplicity
And create unkind
Walls
Michael lived in Truth
Which was why his love for Youth
Took priority
He lived beyond Greed
He freed the world to express
with his own Best
Yet they continued testing
Messing with his mind
Messing with his life
Wanting what he has
For they were nothing without “it”
They were not gaining without “it”
Now, we see they are nothing
They never will be anything
They, who have no dreams
But create nightmares
Create fear for those talents
They are senseless
They are not America’s Promise
They are and always will be
Nothing.
Let’s sing for Michael
Let’s make Michael’s life
a Victory
Doing what he
Began
What he
fostered
which is
to Harmonize.
He was always wise beyond his years
He always faced Fear
Our tears can either tear our souls
or we can do what he would want
and that is – to believe
In our Being
And that our Journey
holds Meaning
to both God
and Man.
