Send in your letters.

Dear Michael,

It pains me to write this letter. You are the most inspiring person I've ever never really known. I can't even begin. You are such a caring heart, always putting yourself in front of others. You touched so, so many lives. And you were so young to go from this world so soon. I had always longed for the day when I would meet you. I had imagined, months ago, that someday I would meet you, flying to New York, going to TRL, where you would and the rest of the 2Gether guys would be there, and being asked up to the room, where I would meet you, swoon over you, and maybe someday get a call from you, asking me out sometime for dinner or something. You helped so many people dealing with cancer. You have accomplished so many things, all of these in which I will NEVER, EVER be able to do. I guess my feelings for you will never be able to be described. I just cannot believe you are not here with us on Earth anymore. But, alas, as much as we do not want you away from us, you ARE in a better place than ANY of us could ever imagine, for you are in Heaven. I have been crying for you for 3 days, pretty much day and night. I have been skipping school for a day to mourn for you. I made a shrine to you, with your pictures and posters, putting as many candles as I could afford around these pictures. You are in my prayers every singe night. I still cannot believe you are gone, though. I thought I could be strong against this terrible couple days, not crying or anything. I have not been strong at all. I cannot stop crying for you. I remain crying as I write this. You were too great, in all ways, to go at such a young age. I guess my emotions, if they could be expressed at ALL, would have to go something like this:
"Sorry I never told you, all I wanted to say. And now it's too late to hold you, cuz you've flown away, sooooo far away. Never had I imagined, living without your smile. Feeling, knowing you hear me. It keeps me alive, alive!! And I know you're smiling down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet day!"
Michael, in few words, this letter would have to go like this: I love you, with all of my heart, and I miss you sooooo much. I hope that you will be watched upon by God, always. Neverending, so that I know you are safe, and finally, comfortable. Your fans will never forget you. As I cry, uncontrollably, as I write this, I pray that you are always safe from harm, and never forgotten. You will remain in our hearts for ALWAYS and FOREVER. You will never be forgotten. Even though you are not here with us physically, you are in our hearts, our thoughts, our lives. You have made a permanent vision in my heart, my eyes, and my soul, on how to live life to the fullest. You completed your dream, and raised $500,000 dollars to cancer research. You got to do SO many things, so many things that I will never be able to do. And you are finally at rest. May God watch over you always and forever, and may God also watch over the people who loved you most - your family, relatives, the other boys of 2Gether (Evan, Alex, Kevin, and Noah), your many, many friends, and of course, all of your adoring fans. You will always be in my prayers. I love you with all of my heart, and I know that I am not alone as I say this. I cannot express in words how much you mean to me. I miss you uncontrollably, day and night. Even though I know you are finally at rest, with no more pain and suffering, I wish you back to Earth, but only with no cancer... I will keep wishing for you, baby. I love you more than words can express.

Andrea
Rest In Peace Michael, because we wouldn't have it any other way.

-Dear Michael-
Right now im at a loss for words. I dont know what to say to someone i've loved and admired for so long, have never met, and will never get a chance to. I've gone through the moment that i would meet you in my head over and over, knowing if i did meet you, i would just be speechless, frozen. But i'll put it in words. Michael, you are my hero. You are the person who has kept me going through so much heartache and pain. My uncle has cancer, and when i heard your story, i was inspired. I looked up to you for your incrediable strength and how much you worked to help raise money for the cancer research foundation. You, just the wonderful person you are, made me want to help and made me want to be a better person. I felt i knew you, you were my best friend, my best friend i never met. But despite all of that, you were a very important person in my life. When i heard about your death, i was taken aback at first, i was determined to not believe it. But then i found out the sad truth, and i havent stopped crying yet. At first i was angry. Why did god have to take you? Why now? Why not me? Someone less important, someone so much less wonderful than you. Then that anger turned into pure sadness. I sat on my bed and thought, day dreamed, went through my scrapbook with COUNTLESS pictures of you, then, when i thought i was strong and i wouldnt cry, i cried hystarically. Nothing could stop me. I kept imagineing me meeting you, you and me being friends, you saying "I made out with TWO of her hands" and "im gonna stick this bunny suit right up your CANDY ASS!" and thinking about that, the funny stuff, turned my sadness, into pure peace. I thought of how happy you must be right now. Looking down on all of us, smileing, crying, hopeing we'll all be ok. Now, whenever i see a picture or statue of an angel, i will think of you. Your an angel Michael, i know you are, pretty white wings and all. I'll miss you greatly, i always will, i'll always cry, like now, im crying my eyes out, but, i love you. I hope your happy, and you will always be a QT in my heart. Michael, you are and always will be, my hero.
*Your fan and friend for always*

Dear Michael,
I know it was ur time to go to Heaven and even tho I know u are not suffering anymore I just wish this all never happened to YOU. You made people's lives so much better b/c u showed people the real meaning in life. It's not about how much money you have, who ur dating, what ur job is, just who you are and what you do have. I know I will be mourning ur death for a while but that's just b/c I am still in shock. I know what ur disease was about b/c I lost my grandmother the same way but it's just so hard to see YOU go like that Michael. You were so young and so fragile. I never got a chance to share my feelings with you but this is the best I can do now. I want you to know that my best friend Nicole has adored you since she saw your face on MTV. She has looked up and loved you b/c of who you were. She didn't care you were famous she cared b/c u were you. She is takin ur loss pretty bad but we will all be there for eachother. I want you to rest in peace and I promise I'll continue to fullfill your dream. God Bless Michael and we will ALL be 2GE+HER on that one *sweet* day. I love you.
Love Forever,
