Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to share a few words of support this afternoon.  This whole horrible experience has threatened to take away the beauty of what you've achieved.  I shared a very poignant image that I had in my mind's eye with Robyn yesterday.  That one is for her.  This one is for you as a group.  I wish I could draw or paint or something so I could  capture these images, but I can't.  So bear with me as I attempt to put into words the picture I can see.

 

 It's nighttime at Forest Lawn.  The anniversary is coming to a close, and all the fans have long since gone back to their hotels, their homes, or wherever. As darkness and peaceful silence descends over the grounds, the door to Holly Terrace opens silently, and a familiar figure, not quite transparent, emerges. He pauses and looks around at all the beautiful mementos that have been left for him. What catches his eye the most are the dozens of buckets filled to overflowing with bright red roses.  Bending down, he picks one up and holds it.  He looks at it from every angle and takes in its beauty and its aroma.  The light that surrounds him like an aura illuminates one sparkly tear that has escaped his eye and is tracing its way down his cheek.  A smile forms on his lips and slowly spreads across his face.  He replaces the rose into its bucket and then puts his hands together.  Looking toward the sky, he whispers, "Thank you for bringing me out here, God.  Thank you for showing me this.  Please help the fans who put this together feel my love for them in an extra-special way.  They've blessed me beyond all measure."  

He walks down among the mementos, pausing to read the cards, look at the posters, and touch the various trinkets that have been left.  All the while, he's enjoying the scent of the roses, which has permeated the night air.  This, he decides, is his new bliss.  He'd been given an opportunity to experience first-hand the love for him that his fans carry in their hearts, and he found that far from fading away, their love had instead increased!  He looks around and speaks in a whisper what he would have said if the OneRose4MJJ girls were all gathered in front of him.  "You knew, didn't you?"  He shakes his head and sighs a happy sigh.  "You knew how much this would mean to me.  You took all the love, the energy, the patience, the time, and the hope you have in your heart and you poured it into this project.  You weren't sure I'd ever know about it, though you wanted to believe that I'd see it somehow.  Well here I am.  And I want you to know it's absolutely beautiful.  YOU are absolutely beautiful.  God bless you, you've touched my heart deeply."  He paused, wishing he could then reach out and hug them.  "And one more thing.........I know what you've been through.  I can feel the pain that's still stinging in your hearts.  But ya know what?  You won.  You succeeded.  You were determined not to quit, and it paid off.  I'm proud of you."  And then he blew a kiss into the night air, brushed a happy tear from his face, and slowly made his way back to the door that led to his resting place.  But before he entered, he turned and waved one last time.  

I really do believe Michael sees the flowers and mementos that are left for him at Forest Lawn.  I like to think of him coming out at night and looking at them all.  It always makes me smile.....

Be Blessed,

Neysa
