*sigh* this isnt just unbelievably written its the content that makes it so special. This fills my heart with love and hope that Michael is an angel helping those in need on a much larger scale. A friend once told me the day my mum passed away that in death we are able to do so much more for our loved ones.

This short fills me with that hope and belief. I love this so much and I wish you would seriously think of turning it into a ff. What better angel to have than your father. Loved this so much babe, i think you have unbelievable talent. i loved how you distinguished Michael by writing him in 1st POV and Prince in 3rd.

PLEAAAAAASE think about turning this into a ff. I will read it in a heartbeat. You know i love you babe :bighug::kiss::wub: and you keep me sane.

Dearest Nicki :heartbeat:,

Somewhere along the way, I stopped venturing into the short fan fiction section. Partly because I read a gazillion stories already and the other part due to the fact that I'm afraid I'll run across writing that is so beautiful -so poignant that I'm vested enough to be truly sad when it ends.

That's what this short did to me. :boohoo:

When did you sneak this in baby??? :huggle: This is THE MOST touching piece I've read thus far this week. Honestly, I read the piece in bed and put it down twice before I could finish it: once when he apologized for leaving them and again when I got to the word 'Daddy'. I was choked up only imagining that letter accompanied by a journal left by someone gone so long ago. What an awesome concept to explore. :wub:

My favorite parts were too numerous to count as the overall piece is 'so' splendid. However, there were some parts that leapt off of the page:

I try my best to kick the stone that’s right in front of my feet but no matter how hard I try it simply will not budge. It just sits there, taunting me, reminding me that my soul left my physical being a long time ago, but even so I still can’t get used to that fact.

Another point that made my throat feel constricted. :cries: I believe in Angels. I also believe in life after death. My Granny always says 'the dead know of the living, but the living know not of the dead'; however, she's always taught me to how to know when they're near. We can't converse with them or ask them what it's like where they are or if they're happy; but we can 'feel' them ... I guess this what she means.

She also says that if our loved one is in the better place, they wouldn't trade it for this troublesome Earth. I don't know how true that is, but this part brought my Granny's words to the forefront of my mind. The Angel Michael didn't wish to return; however, he DID wish to communicate in some way with his child(ren). Beautiful. Tugs at my heartstrings.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

“Prince…” I hear my voice call out and for a second I feel a sense of joy coursing through me as my first born cranes his head first to the left, then to the right, trying to locate the voice… my voice that had called out his name.

For seven years I’ve tried my hardest to talk to the children, to let them know that I love them and that I’m proud of them and that I’m sorry I left them. But no matter how hard I tried, they never seemed to hear my words.

I can't employ the 'ugly (hello kitty) cry' here because the sentiment is much too beautiful to make me break down and just bawl. However, I had to catch a tear or two when this Angel 'finally' found his voice and was able to speak 'to the ones who mattered to him most'. :boohoo:

Thank you for sharing this amazing piece with us. Your talent knows no boundaries. I am so very proud of you. I will never hear this song again without seeing your title bounded by hearts and thinking of the awesome content. Thank you for sharing your talents with the fan community. Thank you most of all for sharing your love ... with us. :grouphug: I cannot see a more fitting way to close this comment than to tell you how I feel about you utilizing the words of this very song:

You're beautiful.
You're wonderful.
Incredible...
I love you so. :inlove:

Magnificent. I can't put the feeling in my heart into words right now. :kiss:

Sigh. One word girl: Beautiful. I swear sometimes that I can channel Michael. I know I'm not crazy but I do. He lives forever and it's because of lovely ladies like yourself, Kathy, Vicky and all the ladies here that help to keep him with us. Just beautiful girl. You all inspire me. 

This got me crying, it's very beautiful. While I was reading it halfway, I stopped to ponder if I still want to go ahead but I was pretty intrigued at what was going to happen so I continued anyway.

I loved the way you presented their feelings, it totally got me. This story blew me away.

Thanks for sharing, Nicki. I love you, girl :wub:

Are you on a mission to bring me to tears with every One Shot you write? :aw:

I needed to stop after the part where Prince read the letter, but will be back later for a more coherent comment to this beautiful story of yours. And today's May 25... this shouldn't be.

And I know we share a lot of the same beliefs so I knew you would get it :wub: I'm a big believer in the afterlife and some days that thought is what keeps me going. It would totally suck if we were to find out that there was no life after death but I know in my heart that there is, there just has to be! And the thought of Michael living on in the spirit world gives me hope. This piece was written with love and from the heart which is why I dedicated it to you and Kathy. My soul mates :bighug:

As for making it into a full length fan fic, we'll see :wink: thanks for reading and commenting babe, love you :wub:

Hi Kathy :girl_sigh: what can I say, you totally summed up everything I was trying to convey within this one shot. You Granny sounds so much like my own, it's crazy that we live thousands of miles away, from totally different backgrounds yet we share the same views/opinions on pretty much everything :laughehe:

Now I do have a confession to make and I knew I could count on you to spot my little bread crumbs :laughehe: that line about stepping into the river and joining the flow, when Michael creates is an actual quote from the man himself. I wish I could take credit for those beautiful words :lol3: but that would just be wrong. I also borrowed another quote from him regarding Prince's birth but apart from that the rest is all me. I knew half way through writing this one shot that I had to incorporate his actual words somehow and I think it worked.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. I know how many stories you read so I feel privileged that you stopped by. Love you m'shuga :bighug:

Wow your words have totally blown me away. I'm so happy you liked it and I know the content is pretty heavy, especially seeing as though we're coming up to the anniversary but I'm so happy you decided to carry on reading. I'm so glad I did share this now because your words have really touched my heart.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting girl. I love you more :bighug:

Wow does that even make sense? lol. But girl, if it's too much for you please don't feel obligated to read on. It is quite a heavy piece I'm aware of that, but it was written out of love. And even though I know it can be quite upsetting (I got teary eyed myself when I read it back) I also think it gives hope. Hope that Michael has a higher purpose now and even though it sucks that he's gone, God needed him back. That's the way I look at things. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment girl, love you :bighug:

Thanks everyone for reading. I'm overwhelmed by you comments. :yourock:

Two words: incredibly beautiful:wub: Not only did it bring tears to my eyes, but it brought joy as well! I too believe in life after death, and that everyone has their guardian angel also that Michael is an Angel. The way you wrote this was remarkably beautiful and touching. What was really touching is that I experienced something similar after my beloved grandmother's passing. I thought it was figment of my imagination but I could hear her voice calling to me likewise to Michael in this story....wow amazing!

I just read this amazing story again, and although its the worst timing being the 25th and all, it gave me a sense of closeness to his spirit. Oh god Nicki, seriously this gets better every time i read it, like aging wine. Please consider expanding this even for another 15 chapters. I just love the feeling and emotions you evoked even if it was tears and this overwhelming emptiness and sadness. It is simply beautiful....thanks again my love.....and thank you for keeping ME sane lol You do realize that we have known one another for almost a year, my how time flies :wub:

Beautiful...

So beautiful yet so sad, it pained me to read it! I could feel Michael's excitement as if it had been my own when he realized Prince had heard him!

And to recieve such a letter on his 21st birthday... it has got to be the very best yet heartwrenching present one could ever recieve! :cute:

I loved it so much, girl! It was truly amazingly wonderful to read! :wub:

The ending was so... touching and evoking this "God, I hope it's true" feeling, and when seeing the latest pictures of the three - they look so grown-up already, at least Prince and Paris, I can't even imagine how they'll look like when they're truly adults!

You are right, what you've written gives hope. And I have no doubts about the higher purpose and spirits communicating. Thank you for sharing this story! And good luck with it in this month's, last MJJB month, contest. :arms:

Or actually, I should say it wrote me because it just came from no where. But I've always believed in the spiritual world and for me, thinking about Michael in this way kind of gave me some peace.
But to know that you've experienced something so similar is amazing and confirms to me that our souls live on. That really brings me some closure. Thanks for commenting hun, you've really touched me with your words :bighug:

I've actually thought about expanding on this, and I have written a "diary entry" but I'm still not sure about where to go with it. We'll see hun. But thanks for always believing in me and encouraging me to post stuff when I have zero to little faith in myself. And trust me; YOU keep me sane :lol3:
Love you :bighug:

Thanks for the lovely comments hun, you're a star :bighug:

And you saying I hope it's true is exactly the reaction I was looking for. I don't get people who don't believe in life after death or a higher purpose, but I'm not foolish to know that those people don't exist and that's their prerogative right? But for me, believing in this kinda stuff really gives me hope. And I all I hope is that somewhere Michael is finally at peace. That's all I wish for.
But thank you so much for coming back hun, it really means a lot to me :grin:
