I don't have words to express my deepest pain that i have had since he died.I can't believe that such a wonderfull person passed away,i've cried a lot and my only joy is consisted od seeing his videos,photos,all the materials with him.I thank God for sending an angel with his whole love for people,animals,children,for everything with such a good and kind heart.R.I.P Michael Jackson we will never forget u for u're always in our hearts! We must make the world a better place!!

I'm the same age as Michael and I've loved him ever since he and his brothers burst on the scene with "I Want You Back." Thank you, Essence, for a number of sensitive, insightful articles. In particular, the article by Jesse Washington really touched me and captured perfectly how I've been feeling about MJ. I regret having kind of given up on him in recent years, and never having attended one of his solo tours. Thank God for video. Listening to his music and watching his videos now through more mature eyes and ears, I appreciate him even more than I used to; of course, that just makes the loss that much more painful.
