This is a very hard thing for me to blog about, but I will.

Yesterday, June 25th 2009, our precious Michael Joseph Jackson left this world at the age of 50. He went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the UCLA medical center where they spent over an hour trying to revive him. They were not able to get him breathing again and he passed away sometime before 3 pm.

I, along with every fan in the world, am in extreme shock and feeling this terrible loss like a hole right through my heart. We all knew the day our seemingly immortal muse would leave us would come, but so soon and so close to the amazing final tour he wanted so badly to do...it is so hard to believe, it seems like a bad nightmare we cannot awaken from.

I send my love to his family and his 3 precious children, Prince and Paris and little Blanket. I cannot say how sorry I am enough, and I know all of us who loved Michael feel the same. We will miss Michael forever, and this day will always be hard for us all.

Michael helped so many of us in so many ways. Having a difficult disease myself, I thank Michael for his love and music and how much he has been a part of my life, making me who I am and bringing me the people I have in my life and allowing me to believe in dreams and magic.

You are in your own Neverland now Michael, where no one and nothing can hurt you. Sometimes God needs more angels up in heaven, and he brought home the most wonderful of all. Whenever we looks to the skies and see the stars shine and sparkle, we know it's you, singing in your beautiful voice and actually walking on the moon. You are at peace now, and we will forever miss you.

As an impersonator I raise my glove and fedora to you,
Nikki M Plesha.
