FEBRUARY 7, 1989 CLEVELAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Stockton, California
“Michael Jackson paid a visit to Cleveland Elementary School to see the children and families affected by the massacre which occurred on January 17, 1989. Michael had just returned from his BAD World Tour. He arrived at the school to comfort the surviving children by giving them confidence to view the world more positively after such a traumatic experience. He visited two children who were still hospitalized and met with other children in a nearby church. Fans gathered outside the hospital and church and school. Michael handed out gifts to each child and autographed pictures and, BAD “T” shirts and BAD cassettes. Patrick Prudy may have destroyed lives that day, but MJ’s presence helped bring more attention and compassion to the victims than anybody else on planet Earth could have done. Five children had been murdered and 39 injured. Michael visited every classroom, parents of the children at a nearby church, and the hospital. Eight-year-old Thahn Gran, who had lost a little brother during the massacre spoke about the affects of Michael’s visit. “I didn’t want to go back to school, but, Michael made it all right again. If he goes there, it must be safe. Michael is my friend and I’m very glad.” District Support Team
In addition, Michael visits the injured and parents of the dead children offering words of sympathy, signing plaster casts of wounded children while chatting and joking. Afterwards, Michael said to the children in the hospital, “You are very brave. When you are better, perhaps you will come and visit my private zoo.” Vice Mayor of Stockton, Ron Coale, had this to say about Michael’s goodwill visits, “Words cannot say how much turmoil this town has been through the past few months. Michael Jackson’s visit has helped us to try and overcome it a little.” MJJJustice Project
To be sure, we all have experienced momentary love, that love that seems to be real, but quickly evaporates in disappointment. The duration of time varies, but, the feelings of betrayal in the end remain the same. Love that stands the test of time is multilayered in its scope. If the initial racing of the heart and lump in the throat lessen, deeper levels appear that hold us in their soothing grip. The stronger the love, the more abundant the layers. “Michaelove”, Heaven Leigh’s beautiful word, is described by Michael as, “…the wonderful feeling you get when your soul is lifted up to become pure love.” When speaking of the Black Tradition, he said, “The Black Tradition is a tradition of soul which is a gift of love and joy…soul is the most precious thing you can share because you’re sharing yourself and the world needs that gift now more than ever.”
This love affair that Michael Jackson has with hundreds of millions of people is complicated in the extreme. E.M.Billeaudeaux describes it as “an intimate connection on so many levels.” Its ripple effect is endless. “Just when you think you know him, he gives you more!” That is how Elizabeth Taylor described it. David Nordahl said, “Sitting and talking to Michael, I would look into those eyes and I could see 1,000 miles.” Michael’s Dangerous Album cover art includes those eyes…”It was supposed to be like a vision into my soul, looking into my soul,” Michael said.
“I don’t worship Michael, but I do accept his divine significance in the history of our planet. I also love him with everything God has given me and recognize an eternal connection to him.”
MICHAEL IN MY LIFE
Elizabeth Michelle Billeaudeaux
Michael’s iconic vocal performance, both lead and background vocals, captured hearts all around the globe. His astounding ability to write breath-taking imaginative and unique musical compositions kept hearts beating wildly. Visually, his amazingly good looks, “his body was his instinctual canvas. He was a dancer to the core.” (Joseph Vogel) kept audiences wanting more and more. Quincy Jones said he was “unlimited musically.” His innovative, cutting edge storytelling both in vocal and visual performances have no equal. The world of his imagination had no boundaries. HE IS MAGIC, and WE CANNOT GET ENOUGH. Such lovely layers. So many reasons to be in love. YouTube numbers, record and DVD sales since Michael left us have been greater than any LIVING artist. When Michael walked the planet, he captured more awards, sold more records, garnered greater audiences than anyone else on the planet in the history of popular music.
We are so in love. But, there is more. Look back to the story we began with today. It is not a unique tale for Michael Jackson. It is an example of the massive number of visits Michael made to help rescue children, heal the planet, spread the love. His unlimited, unequalled humanitarian efforts are becoming legend, taking the place of adolescent myth-media disinformation. Now, we are getting to deeper layers of love. Looking at books compiled by Fans: IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE, A LIFE FOR LOVE, (Brigitte Bloemen, Marian Dobler, Miram Lohr, Sonja Winterholler), MICHAEL JACKSON FOR THE SOUL( Lorette C. Luzajic), LETTERS TO MICHAEL, A COLLECTIVE GOODBYE (Alana m. Thomas) their numbers growing daily. We are now seeing THE NEW MEDIA coming to life as Fans express their love in so many ways. That soothing grip elevates the soul to become pure love.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj3MfUR35CM&list=RD-oCCnxBos10
“WHAT IS FOR CERTAIN IS THAT HE DESERVES MORE FROM THIS WORLD. I AM STANDING UP FOR HIM, AS MANY OTHERS ARE, REGARDLESS OF ANY AND ALL BACKLASH. I BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY THERE WILL BE AN ABUNDANCE OF BOOKS AVAILABLE, DETAILING COUNTLESS STORIES OF HIS DISCIPLES AND SOLDIERS OF LOVE AND THEIR PERSONAL CONNECTIONS TO MY SWEET MICHAEL…OUR SWEET MICHAEL.”
E.M. Billeaudeaux
You see, Fans around the world have fallen in love with Michael Jackson’s multilayered talents and character and humanity. We are drawn to a life lived with the intention to heal the planet with unconditional love. Our souls have been awakened like never before. It is not a passive kind of love. We are actively loving. And, that love transfers its energy to a world greatly in need.
WILL YOU BE THERE?
Michael Jackson
Hold me like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend
Carry me like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?
When weary tell me will you hold me?
When wrong will you mold me?
But they told me a man should be faithful
And walk when unable
And fight till the end
But I’m only human
Everyone’s trying to control me
Seems that the world’s got a role for me
I’m so confused
You’ll be there for me
And care enough to bear me?
Hold me, show me
Lay your head lowly
Gently and boldly
Carry me there
I’m only humanhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiwqxWT4CKw
The depth of being in love is carried in Michael’s words. An unbreakable bond has been formed. Millions of hands join together and stretch the length and width of this planet in his name.

“I’m going to give you some amazing secrets that hide in my songs for all to hear. And they are not really secrets. They may be things that you have forgotten, but they live within your heart. I want to say this too, to those who are hearing my voice and feeling compelled to write it out-it’s me. I write through loving, sweet, otherwise shy ones. I compel you to open up and reach out to share my message. And for those who don’t feel the compulsion to write-are you feeling driven to help others, heal the world by giving to charities? Those who may have never felt this before are doing this now to honor me. I am deeply touched that I have this effect on you.”
“THOUGH WE’RE FAR APART, YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART…YOU ARE NOT ALONE.” Michael Jackson
And so, My Dear Friends, this magical love affair moves toward its sixth decade. It takes on many beautiful faces, a variety of gifts and is strengthened by souls lifted up to pure love. Its power comes from Michael. He has lovingly given the blueprint for change. He has provided the outline. We will paint in the colors.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlpU08DkJ7g
I love you more.

Oh my goodness! Dearest Jude – I heard about this school shooting! It was close to us, as we lived in San Jose, CA at the time. I did not remember hearing that Michael went to the school. Wow. Amazing. Thank you SO very much for revisiting this part of his Angelic History! So beautiful of him to do this – to help them feel safe to go back to school again!
Thank you SO very much for featuring my dear friend Elizabeth’s book “Michael in My Life” http://bit.ly/MichaelInMyLife. I was just posting her book in a comment. She is the one who bravely put her vision of Angelic Michael in print and was the trail-blazer for other writers who came to understand him as Angel Michael too. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude! Thank you, dear Michelle. I am here because you were there. 😉
Thank you so much for featuring an excerpt from my new book with amazing artist and true and loving friend Mimi O’Garren as well.
In many real ways – Michelle took the first “slings and arrows” and gave me courage to finally bring this creation of Angel Michael Oracles forth. I so appreciate our heart to heart talks about stepping out in faith! TYM – Thank you Michelle! 😉
Thank YOU dear Jude for this AWESOME piece! I Just Can’t Stop Loving You! ~H~
Your words are poetry, Jude. Your love for Michael glows through my computer as I read them. When I copyrighted my first book in 2009, I was bombarded with good as well as bad vibes. Being the first person to pair those words together: Michael Jackson + Angel + Messiah, was an easy decision for me…although I knew I’d get a few dirty comments. The pain I felt from ridicule was nothing to the pain He felt from abandonment…so I HAD to do it. I’m glad I did. I’m glad I’ve met you, and Heaven, and Susie, and Rev. Catherine, and Cathy, and Brenda, and Jan, and Alex, and Henry Diltz, and Rosalynn, and Kathie, and Deb, and Francie, and Diana, and Jacinta, and David Ilan, and Waldtraut, and Siren, and Vanessa, and Gerri, and Karen, and so, so, so, very many more! You understand, right?! 🙂 We all do what we can in His honor because of simple, pure, forever-love. I love that you express so many thoughts that I have in my head. Lately, I need quiet time. I need alone time. I feel alone and sad again, and find it hard to understand my one huge love in this world, in a way, never was during this life. It’s a weird feeling. The love is in me, spinning and hot and deep and lost. your words make it easier. Thank-you. <3
This is all utterly fantastic! And amazing! And Heaven’s writings. I can scarcely believe the synchronicity of it all. But I do believe it, of course. There are so many miraculous happenings where Michael is concerned. He was a magical being…very Christlike. I wonder how much he knew about his own destiny.
We are entering the 8th decade since Michael’s passing! Can hardly believe it….and now there is a new president, who won the election even if not the popular vote! I wonder what Michael would have thought about this! I can imagine. He was such a kind and respectful person….unlike this present leader! Help!!!
This is August, 2017….HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Michael! ♡♥♥♥♡
If Michael had been here for these other shootings…he would have comforted all the people affected by them. His presence in a locale had a great effect on everyone. So…he isn’t here, but we must all remember what he did and how he did it!! Always with great care and kindness!!
Miss him forever….
