People can't seem to get over MJ's sudden demise.
They say only the good die young. I agree.
Maybe most people will remember MJ only as a great singer. They will remember only the white glove, the white socks, the great voice.
I will however remember him as someone with a big heart, a compassionate person who cares about the unfortunate members of society. I read an article this morning regarding his visit to the Philippines several years ago. He was billeted at the Manila Hotel. When he found out that the hotel staff will be celebrating the annual gift giving for orphans, he asked them how he could help or participate in the affair, much to the surprise of everyone. He donated loot bags filled with candies and toys for the children and distributed them himself. His security wanted him to get over with the distribution so that they could whisk him off to a not so crowded place, but he told his men that he was staying because it was Christmas time. He even sang "Give Love on Christmas Day" even without being asked to. Not even once did he complain about the heat either. He was just too happy being able to help people.
This is probably the MJ most people do not know.
But oh yes, there is one friend who knows him inside out. This friend is devastated now. He lost the only friend he ever had, the only friend who took him for what he is despite what he is not. His name is Ben.
