I totally know what you mean. I've loved him for pretty much my entire life. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5. I wore out a tape of the Jacksons Victory album in elementary/jr high school. I listened to all his albums over and over. heck, some days I set my ipod to play nothing but J5/Jacksons/MJ stuff. he got a little funny at the end, but he had the kind of childhood that would have screwed anybody up.

I cried at work when I found out and I'm still teary-eyed. I can't believe it. I'm going to miss him so much.
