I'm so glad my parents drilled into me the ability to think for myself. My father used to say to me when I was 5 yrs old. "Don't you never believe something just because it comes on that tv! Don't even believe me, research for yourself! Go to the library... go find out" My father is a genius.

I'm so glad Michael taught me comapassion and love in the universal sense. That we have a duty to look after one another and a responsibility to put judgements aside. Michael is a genius.

I'm so glad my mom played off the wall in her car everyday when she dropped me off at kindergarten.
I'm so glad my parents let us stay up and watch Michael on Motown 25.
I'm so glad my aunt debbie just stepped over me all day as I sat in her house waiting for Thriller to come on MTV, it finally did!
I'm so glad my mom sat me down to watch Michael's performance on the 1988 Grammys and we were so moved we got tickets to see him in Indianapolis the following month.
I'm so glad I went to that show and became the hooked Michael Maniac I turned into!
I'm so glad I saw him again in Detroit that October.
I'm so glad I loved him so deeply and hung on every word.
I'm so glad that in late 1991 when Michael mania was at a lull in the US I didn't give a damn and I loved him more than ever, buying Dangerous the day it came out.
I'm so glad that when one of my friends in high school confessed she wanted a copy of Dangerous but was too embarassed to be caught buying one, I thought of how silly that poor child was and bought one for her.
I'm glad that I supported Michael through the craziness that was 93-94 and my belief in him NEVER wavered. I could not possibly know, I was not there...I CHOSE to believe Michael because that is what faith is.
I'm so glad I bought HIStory at 12:01AM the morning it came out!
I'm so glad I was active in the infancy of the online fan communities at the time and got tickets to a special taping of the 1995 Soultrain Awards at the Shrine Auditorium, meeting Priscilla and Mary and others... We were MJ's Angels
I'm so glad I got tickets to the Madison Square Garden show through that same online fan community although Michael got sick and could not perform.
I'm so glad I stuck with him when the conventional wisdom was not to, I'm glad I listened to my father.
I'm so glad I thought of him often even when I didn't know where he was or what he was doing.
I'm so glad my love for him was so strong I allowed myself to disagree with some of his choices without it meaning giving up my loyalty to and love for him.
I'm so glad the lessons he taught me lead me to my profession of being a counselor, an educator and a volunteer.
I'm so glad I was at Walmart the morning Invincible dropped, picking up my copy.
I'm so glad "Break of Dawn" is my ring tone to this day!
I'm so glad that when my classmate alerted me to Michael's ranch being raided in 2003 I maintained my calm and listened for the truth.
I'm so glad I watch E NEWS Daily and Dan Abrahams wrap of the trial everyday, keeping the faith that justice would prevail.
I'm so glad that as the verdict was read I clasped my hands and prayed to God that Michael would be carried out of that court room in His arms.
I'm so glad he went home to his babies.
I'm so glad 3 days later when I bought my new car I got "NQT GLTY" as my personalized plate!
I'm so glad I still have it today.
I'm so glad I registered for the THIS IS IT presale code and got one!
I'm so glad I did not give up even though that ticketmaster site was a logistical nightmare, lol!
I'm so glad I got my two tickets.
I'm so glad I invited Leah to have the other one, She was mad at me in the 8th grade for going to the Bad tour and bragging about it. 21 yrs later, I made it up to her.
I'm so glad I decided to keep my tickets.
I'm so glad my love never wavered over 30 yrs.
I'm so glad that people I had not spoken with in years called me on 6/25 because they knew I'd be hurting.
I'm so glad when I reflect on my spiritual connectedness with Michael, it never skips a beat.
I'm so glad Michael, I'm so glad...
