In light of the terrible events we have been experiencing and the various campaigns to preserve Michael's legacy, I wanted to do something different. Over the years we've organised various things (I was one of the "refugees" that came from another major MJ community that closed down) but I feel its the time for something a little different.
We've all heard various stories from the family about how the children are coping, and whether they're true or not I can't imagine the kids are doing well. I feel it is our duty to help protect them and show them our support like we did for their dad who we all love very much. I feel that by doing the following we can give our piece to them and ensure that they know how much we love their dad and that we are all together going to keep him alive. That we'll be there for him and for them no matter what.
So here's my idea. I have three main plans. The first is to collect together as many writings as we can, enough to potentially fill a scrapbook. These writings would consist of various poetry, songs and other writings about Mike, about how he's touched us, about how much we love him. It would also consist of letters and messages we can write in support of the kids and Mike's legacy, just to show them that it will all be ok and that they're not alone. This first part is material messages for the kids in various forms - poetry, letters, whatever you feel you want to say that shows your love for Michael.
The second part is just an idea - I was thinking that we can assemble a series of short recordings of fans in various settings, wherever you are, just short clips of fans saying something along the lines of "My name is _____, and I want to express my love for Michael Jackson. Prince, Paris, and Blanket - You Are Not Alone!" We can talk in more detail about this idea later.
The third part could be artwork and various photos of michael, us with memorabilia. Just artwork and photos that convey they're not alone, that we're grieving and we want them to know how much we love their dad and that we want them to know we would like to support them as best we can.
I am dead serious about this plan, but I can't do it all by myself. I need your support and help to organise this. I will collate everything and be the one to send the package itself out, but I need YOUR help, the help of the fans to get the materials, writings, pictures and pieces of the legacy together.
So I need a few things first of all:
1. Do you think this is a good project, and would you support my organising it? I need support first of all before I begin getting it all together. This will be a big thing to organise and you will all be part of it every step of the way, but I need to know whether the community thinks its viable first. Do you think this sort of project is appropriate?
2. The second thing I need to know is where can we send this package to guarantee that the kids will receive it? Does anybody have an address, or the contact details of management or staff who can be contacted regarding such details?
3. If I can get approval from the community, and we can make sure the package will be received, then I will begin the first process of looking for an appropriate book, collecting your writings together, and we can collectively decide upon what else should be included for the kids.
First update:
Well guys it looks like we're getting plenty of support, KEEP IT COMING! I think as long as we keep our focus we can keep moving ahead with this. We can begin brainstorming ideas as to how it can all come together before we go ahead and do so, and in the mean time we can move onto stage 2 as well. Lets see if we can get some leads for getting it to them. I suspect some of the other members may know, such as Shannon, and I have tried to contact them but no reply yet.
