I've been amazed at how much that man's music was a part of my life. Watching VH-1 Classic as they show all of his videos. You forget not.one.word. You remember the dance move. The tick. The pop. And it's like I'm 18 again. Glad you enjoyed - and even more glad to have you back to read more! :) Thanks, Teresa. I’ve been amazed at how much that man’s music was a part of my life.

You should be submitting your writing for publication. Most newspapers would kill for reporters with your talent. Keep up the excellent writing.

I was at work last night when I heard of Michael's passing, and felt a little sad, but basically unaffected. Then I logged onto FB and clicked play on a video my cousin Massy had posted of Michael performing at the grammy awards in the 90's. Man in the Mirror....I cried. It brought back a lot of memories that have been buried behind work, raising kids...basically living in THIS moment. Your blog is thoughtful as well as thought provoking, and I thank you for inviting me to read it. I'll be watching for more! Heidi-

I read it this morning - fortunately as the hours have passed, the negativity seems to be dwindling. Of course, they want to get to the bottom of "why" so speculation is flying everywhere, but to be fair, that's to be expected. I just hope he and his family are able to find peace.

It was good to know someone had my back. I couldn't imagine that conversation would have turned out as ugly as it did and I'm grateful I had the sense to just walk away from it.

I thank you for "helping" me last night. I could not believe the way the "Doctor" responded last night. I am grieving along with you and many others. I only hope that the Dr. learns compassion and caring. Loved your journal! Heidi… I thank you for “helping” me last night. I could not believe the way the “Doctor” responded last night.

I was fighting mad at some of the insensitivity I heard yesterday, and it took me a long time to write my own blog about it. I didn't think I could put into words just what an impact Michael's death had made on me. But I scrounged up the words as best I could, and I hope that they were at least somewhat adequate in conveying how truly sad his death really was and that, as you said, his family just suffered a tragic loss and should be allowed to mourn without having to deal with the cruel comments that have been so carelessly tossed out.
