Dear Michael,  I'm writing to tell you that I saw on the internet that Joseph, Katherine and your children are in Gary, Indiana this weekend, for your birthday.  I have seen some pictures of them walking on the same street where you grew up.  They visited your childhood home, and also visited the school where you attended.  Prince, Paris and Blanket were also talking with some fans that were there, and signing autographs for some.  I'm wondering how you would feel about all of this?  Your children seemed like they enjoyed seeing all of the things there.  One of your fans even gave Paris a necklace.  Michael, the fans really do love your children.  They are a part of you, but knowing the way you raised them, keeping their faces covered when in public...I don't know, I'm not sure how to feel about all of this.  I don't blame your parents for taking them to see your home, that is something they needed to see.  I can't help but wonder if you would do the same if you were here.  But, there was a picture of your wonderful Mother, and she looked so very sad.  I'm sure all of that brought back so many memories for her.  I know you always said you wanted to raise them as "normal" children, but being who they are, I'm not sure they can ever have a "normal" upbringing.  Who knows, you may have changed a few things as they got older too.  You did a great job Michael with those kids.  They are very intelligent, very caring kids.  You can tell that they have been loved by a very special person, you.  What a gift you have left the world.  I know your music and your artwork and short films, all of those things were left behind too, but your children are the most important out of all those.  They are part of you, a reflection of you.  I think your Mother wanted them to see where you came from, the beginning of your life.  I know you can see everything that goes on here, you're watching over your kids, but I can't help but wonder, how you would feel.  Please don't be too upset Michael.  I think your children are going to grow up just fine.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure in their hearts, they still wish you were here for them, but you were here Michael in the early years for them, and that was so important.  You gave them love, lots of love, what a great gift.  You would be so proud of them Michael.  It still breaks my heart to see them, without their loving Father by their side.  I will continue to pray for them, and your family.  God bless you Michael, and thank you, for everything.  I love you.    :')
