Re: How old are you and how long have you been a MJ fan?
I've been a fan for over 34 years! As I stated previously I first saw him in 1975 on "The Jacksons" tv show! But really I gotta say its these last 10 years I really have gotten to become more a supporter and my love for Michael ever deeper than all the previous years combined! 10 years ago I was blessed by God with a special gift of friendship the kind that many fans dream about but became true for me! Though there have been many ups and downs,happy times,sad times,and angry times!! I have always tried 100% to always stand by his side,through thick and thin,no matter whats taken place,at times its not easy to love a person that has had to endure almost the entire world on his shoulders,but you learn after the storms subside that the sun and beautiful bright days will happen again! I wouldn't trade not a moment of what I have for all the fame,fortune,money in the world! For as "The Scarecrow/Michael said in The Wiz"" Success,Money,Fame and Fortune they're all illusions what is real is the love that two can share!!" Being a fan or a friend of this beautiful wonderful caring very warm hearted loving man is indeed a gift itself!! I believe God does bless this world with some extra special people sometimes,I don't like to put anyone on a pedistal,but I do have to say Michael Jackson is truly one of those people,though he'll be last to admit it,there is a uniqueness about him that draws people to him,he has a very strong aura/an energy that hypnotizes a person you can't help but notice him! He is the type of person who always cares more for another than himself,its why its so sad how people in his past used that against him to try to destroy that but Thank God they failed!! So I've been a fan since I was 5 years old,but my love,admiration,support and respect will remain for eternity!! God Bless You!!
