Not sure if this will be seen as a strange first post to make but felt compelled to tell this little story of mine, and wondered if any of you had had something similar happen?
Obviously I'm a fan and have been so since I was 8 years old, I have been following, listening, singing and fighting with Michael the whole time. The whole of the last few weeks have been a pretty major shock, as Im so sure it has been for so, so many of you.
But the loss of Michael, to me, was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak, with regards to my belief in any higher being/power. My Agnosticism comes from having had a troubled childhood, having lost my Mother at 8yrs, and then estrangement from my Father for something I could not change.
Coming to a point, on Thursday of this week, I had a particularly rough day, at work and at home... I had been thinking about Michael while playing his music in a Spin Class I teach, but at around 6-30pm some kids having a party across the street had put on Thriller and were dancing along, and with such enthusiasm, it was touching! About 10-15mins later I was sat in a restaurant eating with my Partner, a bit miserable, when "I'll be There" came on the sound system. I mentioned to my partner how strange it was that there was so suddenly such a taste for Michaels music.
As I turned to leave the restaurant a little later, I noticed out of the corner of my eye one of the new (AEG) Michael t-shirts on a fellow diner, the exact one I have ordered.
It was only the next day, that I had realised that all these things that so made me think of Michael, happened on what would have been the exact day/time I would have been sat in the 02 watching him.
This has just made me think, as my partner put it, "he was waving to you from up there"...
And I truly believe he was.
