I was blown away when I read this thread. The word that have floated out of each and every post were moving.
Michael has given each of us so much, the power to believe in love, to belive we still need romance. The fact that we deserve nothing less.
I am so proud to be on this board with all of you.
And Mom Buble, your amazing. You shared your son with the world and the lives he has change by giving it all back. By recongizing his MB family acrossed the world. He seems so humble and down to earth, you just don't see that anymore. Not even in everyday life with different status of working people around town. Michael is bringing it back where it should be and I give you credit for that. Every son/daughter is reflection of their parents, and I hope one day when I look back at my children they send me that same feeling.

Thank you all so much, for being who you are, living life as you do and noticing life can change and will with the love that comes from all of you!

To Mom Amber Buble'...........

Thanks!.....For putting a special touch
to this thread.....I'm not the only one that has
felt something special has happened here.......

It is my greatest wish that you comprehend
the depth of what has been expressed here not only in word but will take with you the influence of our feelings we have tried to share
with you.........

Michael is your boy.......But to us ...He
is a reminder of everything that is beautiful...
Is anything more beautiful than Love?
There is nothing on earth that moves people like
Love..........That's why it is so powerful!

And because his message is so powerful....
.........People are stunned and in awe and walk
away from his Concerts...completely baffled at
how they have been affected......

When all that has happened is...........
Something inside of us has come alive....And the
hunger we have had is finally being fed......
........
Every single person alive wants to feel
loved.......Its the most important food we can
eat.............
Love to the heart....Is like water to the body.......We have to have it.....
And along comes Michael......Everyone who
hears him....Is made richer because of the way
he has made them feel......

That's why we love him!!!!!!

And I can tell you with all the strength I have....We truly love him.....

Thanks again for spending a minute
with us.........
Just a granma and lovin it!

Irene, I just wanted to jump in here and thank you also for starting this thread with you absolutely beautiful words. (BTW, are you a professional writer? If not you should be!) Everyone who has posted here feels a deep down love for Michael, his family, fellow fans and humanity in general and you have all expressed your thoughts so eloquently!! God, I love this board and I love MICHAEL soooooo much!!

BTW, I'm a mom and grandma too! And as we get older we learn to appreciate life a little more and Michael has certainly made my life more enjoyable!

[irene hope]

Karen..........

My goodness!....I'm not a professional
anything.......But Thank You!.....Wait!....
Could a Mom be a profession?......
That I am......I had my first little tiny bundle of joy 56 years ago.....A beautiful little girl......When I was just 20....And just a little girl myself.....
But isn't that the way it is usually....
We have children raising children?......
The truth is .....It is they whom we learn from.......And one day!......We seem to find a way to take some kind of credit or are given a "Tender Mercy"....When in truth....It is
they who have raised us!

We can only learn the deep and meaningful
things in life from that which tugs at our heart
.............
You know where I'm going with this......
Ah yes!.......A young boy named Michael...is
teaching us at this moment.....probably the
greatest lesson in the whole world.......
"The best things in life are free"

Is it possible to love this guy any more?
I think not!!!!!

Just a granma and lovin it!

[Gracie]

Once again, wonderful post irene! I agree with karen you definitely should be a professional writer! Every time you post I directly go and read cause I can be sure it will be lovely!!

Although I am quite young and not a mother myself, I agree that it should be considered a "profession"! I can't imagine any job that can be as difficult as that of being a mother!

Anyhoo, just my 2 cents!

Gracie xxxx

[irene hope]

Gracie........

Thanks again!......You guys are all way
too kind to me.....
There is nothing on earth that can come to a woman that could possibly be more fulfilling than being a Mom.....
There are no words written that can
describe it.......
Some are afraid of it.....Remember they
bring their love with them.....
I have heard a lot of women say.....They
were afraid to have a second child for fear they
couldn't possibly love them like they did their
first.......The love comes with them.....And
with the next and the next.......It does!
It is so normal and natural and beautiful when done in the right setting......
If it weren't meant to be.....We wouldn't be built like we are.......
The love of a mother for her child ....
is the closest thing on earth that even comes
close to the love God has for us........

Like I keep saying over and over.....
Love is the only thing worth living for.....
This kind of love is what is deep inside
our heart and the value is only realized when it
is given away........And It is the greatest and
most valued thing we can be given by another
human being.......

And what is it about Michael that we
love?...........

The only thing that is really mine....Is
what's in my heart.....If I have anything of
worth.....It is there within me......

Thanks again Gracie.....You are a dear!

Irene,
You hit the nail on the head with these words..thank you.

[irene hope]

Lexi......The way I feel?......I'm the lucky one......And from what I see here on this board......
I see a huge number.....growing by the
minute ....of ladies loving and wanting more and
more of what Michael in his own unique style has packaged and wrapped to perfection his very own potion of love...as his gift to us......

I have never seen any one in my life time
that was so gifted naturally nor given so freely
such precious and tender feelings to so many....

This is what Michael has given to me.....
Yeh!...."It's Time"..and I'm feelin
good............Thank you Michael......
sooooooooooooooooo! Much!
Just a granma and lovin it!

[swooninggrany]

IRENE, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN .YOU, LIKE MYSELF HAVE SEEN MANY ENTERTAINERS OVER THE DECADES WHO WERE VERY TALENTED AND VERY GOOD LOOKING BUT, NONE OF THEM DID WHAT MICHAEL DOES TO ME. HE MAKES ME FEEL SO MANY OF MYSELFS.THE TEEN, THE STARY EYED ROMANTIC, THE WOMAN WHO IS STILL ALIVE INSIDE,A WOMAN WHO KNOWS THE JOYS OF BEING LOVED BY THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.HE BRINGS OUT A WOMAN WHO LOVES LAUGHING AND HUMOR. A WOMAN WHO KNOWS GOD GAVE THAT VOICE TO MICHAEL INSTEAD OF ANOTHER FOR A WONDERFUL REASON , LOVE. YES, MICHAEL HAS SPREAD LOVE ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND I AM SOOOOOO GRATEFUL TO HIM TO BE ABLE TO FEEL SO MANY OF MYSELFS. HUGE HUGS, LORETTA SMILING AT YOU.

[irene hope]

Loretta.......

Thanks for replying.....I think there are some things that are simply very difficult
to explain.......But "We know how we feel".!

Just a granma and lovin it!

[Shelley]

So many warm fuzzies! LOL

[irene hope]

To Mom Amber Buble'.........

I want to tell you how great its been..
.....being able to open up to you and unload
sentiments and stored feelings......about Michael.....which have been pretty awesome....

No one could be more qualified to understand and are probably the most treasured
in his life........You are of the same heart...

Thank you for acknowledging and accepting
our little offerings of love to you......They
come as deep and sincere as is possible to ever
be.....

Michael has brought such excitement into
millions of lives......All over the world.....
I imagine he has brought a little into yours as well?........I can only imagine!.......

It's interesting......To different people
the excitement represents different things.....
To the young people....it represents the
anticipation of something they haven't yet experienced....But hope for.....
To the middle group.....They have been
convinced they can experience that same level of excitement that Michael sings about......
To the older group...like me.....This excitement is a reminder of the very best that was ours ....So precious...and dear and tender.....that it just brings a joy that
simply can not be put into words......

But to whomever.....It's the same excitement of Love........And Michael has put
his stamp on it.....
And we can never thank him enough.....
What he has brought to us has found a home....
...And that is in our hearts.....Where it'll
most likely stay until forever ends.....

Thank you dear Amber for your influence on Michael....And for him being georgeous.....And
for his long eyelashes.....and for his beautiful
eyes.....and for his swagger......and for his
hair to die for.....and for that voice that could melt a ton of bricks.....and for those
dancin feet.....and that "Grab my Butt" voice...
Did I leave anything out?

Yeah! We kinda have fallen hard for that boy of yours........
He's absolutely a 10 with us.....

We adore him and we adore you as well.....
If you get a minute...drop us a line....Nothing
could make us happier.....We are like a bunch of wet sponges here....So anxious and ready to absorb any tiny bit of news about Michael....
You know Michael...your son.....Your cute Son!

You don't by chance know any hot gossip?
It would certainly be safe with me.....I wouldn't tell a soul!......Any news of any
surprise wedding?....Not any one in particular?
Of course I wouldn't even think of suggesting
any one that we might both know.....Just maybe
anyone?.........You know I'm just kidding!
But if you're just dying to tell me....
your secret is my secret!..........
Do you know how .....Just in case I
wanted to contact ABC...NBC....CBS....or Show Bizz tonight....OH never mind!.........

Keep Smilin Amber!.....Love Ya!

Just a granma and lovin it!

[swooninggrany]

ourselves smile quite often.....Every time we look in the mirror.....

You say we sound young at heart?.....We've grown quite fond of that organ.....One of the few we have left!.....

Yo! {That means everythings cool}

Just a granma and lovin it!

[irene hope]

To Mom Amber Buble' and to all my dear friends who have been drawn in and have partaken
and now are " Under the Influence" of........
......."Michaels Message"......

First of all .....Let me explain....This isn't the first time....That I have gone to great lengths to try to put it simply....this
fixation .....about MIchael that has made us
doubt our sanity........

A couple of times....I put it to rest....
But I awoke this morning....thinking and being
rejuvenated and I want to share....

The number of you having the same feelings
as I do have justified so many things to me....

Loving Michael and listening to him has
given us an "Insatiable Appetite" for the feeling he has left us with.........I can't explain it better......We will never get enough.......We want more..more..more.......

The packaging of anything being sold is very important....That in itself is a million dollar industry......Michael?....perfect package....

With all my heart...I believe it's the "Message" here.....That has caused this
tremendous addiction.......

Michael has only reminded us how badly we all want to be loved!.....We crave the feeling..
Everyone that lives has a need to be loved.....
It is Universal.....And it took a little
Canadian Boy and his granpa to perk the ears of
millions all over the world......And because of
bringing to life inside of us all the greatest
single power on earth....We are only made aware
in capitol letters....What is so lacking in the world.......

The glamor....the fascination of the rich and famous....the new inventions...the new technology.......Have in fact blinded many to
the real power that has always existed ......

My husband one time gave a talk ..And he chose to speak on the 10 richest and most
influential people in the world......And what had happened to them at the end of their life.......As a result of their choices....Each
met with disaster...heartache....loneliness or
complete devastation.......But the one thing that they all had in common was ....They were successful in reaching their goal....which was
what they had......But in order to reach it ....
they had to forfeit love and others......

Sometimes we simply can't have it all....
But often we are blinded by the world ....And lose sight of what it really is that makes this
world tick......Money makes your life easier....
......But it doesn't warm your heart and it
doesn't have a chance in heck of making you feel
loved or it doesn't make you feel like you are
worthy to be loved.....
When you listen to Michael sing and he is
singing to you....Or you are coming from a
concert.....Or you are home in your own little
comfort zone listening to his CD.....You have a feeling in your heart that is equal to none....
This is called "Feeling Loved".....And it
is the one thing that we can't get from this big
huge gigantic world we live in.....

The world came up short here.....Because
Love is only found within us.......
Michael has only brought it to the surface
...........I was also inspired a bit by the
inscription on Bikerbettys signature.....
" Love is so old fashioned....To love you have to care for others more than you care for
yourself."
That isn't a very popular way of thinking
in this world of today?

Michaels message is old fashioned and he
sings old fashioned songs....about the most old
fashioned force in the world.....

Also todays Bobby D.'s..review ......

"Michael is the secret to World Peace"

O.K. That's all!.....Now you know!....
To all my old fashioned friends.....Who likes an
old fashioned guy who sings old fashioned songs
......It is all because you have an old fashioned heart that happens to love......
......"LOVE"......
And you all became more beautiful the minute
you felt the spirit of this thread......I have
honestly felt it.....And I hope you have.....

I almost feel like I'm saying goodbye....
This little thread has been soothing to me and
like a friend.....It has been therapy kinda....
I love you all .....Stay Cool!

Yo! An Old Fashioned Grandma giving
all her old fashioned friends the
most treasured gift she has....Her old
fashioned love.....

Sorry!...Bummer I hit the key before i signed off with my sig.
