I will always love you.....
A very special experience happened to me on New Year's Eve of last year. It is very sacred to me but I feel the message was not only relayed to myself but is meant for the entire family.
We were celebrating New Year's Eve at Suzanne's house. During the evening I was thinking of Michael and the previous year where we celebrated the new year. I was really missing Michael and wishing he could celebrate with us. We went through the annual ritual of staying up till midnight and banged on pans and made lots of noise. I retired and went to bed soon afterward and had somewhat of a broken heart.
I fell asleep and had the most heart warming, beautiful dream I could have ever imagined. The dream consisted of three parts. The first part consisted of voices where people were congregating or visiting with each other. In the second part of the dream it shifted to only two people. In this part the two people relayed a message that wrote I love you in the sky. I love you was written with the letter I and then a heart and a u. In the third part of the dream the chorus of the song "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston entered my mind. (This was a song I had never valued or played in my life yet it came to me in this dream). The song was brief and started with the chorus and only displayed it long enough so I could recognize it.
After the song I woke up saying "Michael." I laid there pondering what happened and then Charlotte entered the room. I relayed to her the dream.
We went home and downloaded the song and we looked at the words and have analyzed it. There are some lines in the song we have thrown out but there are others that are significant. The main message that Michael wanted me to get was the chorus "I will always love you." I counted the number of times this line was in the song and counted twelve. When Whitney sings it it is sung with a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Other significant lines in the song are written below:
So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way.
Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me.
So goodbye, but please don't cry.
I hope life treats you kind,
Aand I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love.
I will always love you (mentioned a dozen times throughout the song.)
I know that Michael is in a grand place because so much love was emanated in this message. I wasn't going to post because it is sacred but I feel this message was meant for the whole family.
Love you,

Jay,
Thank you sooo much for sharing this with us. It has brought me a lot of comfort. Sometimes I think we forget about all of the love and support that surrounds us not only here on this earth but in the life that follows. I will always cherish this song now and the hope it brings as I remember what we have to look forward to!
I love you. All of you!

Jay,
Oh Wow! Thank you soo much for sharing this with all of us. We all love Mikey too and miss him here everyday. Not a day goes by that he isn't mentioned at least once in our home. He made a great impression on Mitch and really showered him with love. It is soo great to know that we will all feel it from Mikey again even though he can't physically be here with us. We love each and every one of our family members and are soo glad will be able to feel that for all eternity!
Love you all and can't wait for eternity without all the earthly tribulations.
Suz
