I will respectfully give my opinion. We can all agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I will start by saying that I am a huge MJ fan and will be till it's my turn to go.
-- I agree that NO ONE will ever know ALL that happened between MJ and LMP, ONLY they know. And it is really none of our business to know every single detail of his life. He gave us his gift of music and dance and gave it all freely with love in his heart. MJ TRULY LOVES HIS FANS, on that I think it is safe to assume that we will agree. Don't you think we as fans can give him the space he so deserves to have a little corner of his life not be disected?
--If what I have read is to be believed, that he never got over LMP, well then that tells me that she touched his heart in a way that no other woman had ever done. Further proof of that is that he never (to our knowledge) found that kind of connection with another woman. (I really wish he had). Yes, he may have dated, but nothing close to what he had with LMP. People forget that after the divorce and after the bashing, they continued to see each other, they still loved each other and appears that they were trying to make it work. It is said that she later realized how much she loved MJ & offered to have his children, but MJ's heart had closed by then. So maybe they both did a little bit of heart breaking. Sometimes life throws curves our way that are insurmountable, even for celebrities (go figure). I am sure many of us can relate to being in a relationship where we did not make the best choices, or in a state of hurt and pain, lashed out to the one we claimed to love. She is not perfect, none of us are. LMP and MJ are no different.
-- I do know this, that if MJ were right here participating in this conversation, he would not be allowing any of us to bad mouth LMP, because that is just who MJ is.
-- Plus only MJ & LMP know what they each contributed towards not being able to make it work, because it was not for lack of passion or love. Maybe stubborness, immaturity, we will never know. Her pain to me felt genuine since 6/25. We as fans proclaim to be in pain and hurt for him and I'm sure that none of us have even ever met or let alone been as close and intimate with him as LMP. So please don't bash her, because we don't know what happened between them.
I for one, will respect and honor him by not disecting or questioning how or why he loved her so deeply and why she was the only woman that ever touched him so profoundly.
It is our turn to give back to MJ. Stop disecting and hating. His message has always been one of love and unity. His journey in life is not determined by us.
-- My prayer is that MJ found true love again, and none of us ever knew about it. Imagine that !
-- He deserves that and more, he gave all he had to give, now it is our turn to give back.
Peace, love and positive energy to all who read this.
L.O.V.E. LIVES FOREVER.
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand.
