我有機會和一些名人交談過，例如納爾遜·曼德拉總統。但我和邁克爾的關係尤為特別。

每次當我離開時，他會站在門廊上向我揮手道別，看到此情此景我總會感到難過。他總是如此熱情好客，他絕不會自私自利，也絕不會傷害別人。

日本有著世界上最多的孤兒院，當邁克爾到達那裡，他想要為他們做點什麼。所以我們選擇了其中一間進行訪問，碰巧它是由比爾和和梅林達•蓋茨所資助的孤兒院。邁克爾低調地來到孤兒院，沒有任何宣傳，他給每個孩子帶來了許多玩具。他自己的孩子也會和他一起去，他會將看到的事情給孩子們進行教育。

孤兒院的孩子們很開心。邁克爾不厭其煩地親自和孤兒院的每一位修女握手，感謝他們悉心照料這些孩子們。

每天我都會為我能蒙受這位天使的聖光而感恩上帝，也提醒自己我們不能理所當然地安逸度日。沒有人知道明天會怎樣，你得讓人們知道你愛他們。

這就是邁克爾給我的啟示。

Michael was truly the greatest performer. When he hit that zone, no one could touch him. I remember him doing three shows in a row and Justin Timberlake was supposed to join him onstage, but when Justin came out, he just froze and Michael was poppin’! Awesome! He didn’t need the special effects or anything else; he was the real performer.

And you could see him going into that spiritual zone backstage when he was getting ready for a show. He was always calm, relaxed, smooth. He would do his own makeup and take a few minutes alone in his dressing room where he had a picture of The Three Stooges that he liked on the wall. Then he would very calmly emerge and just blow the audience away. Even in Japan on his comeback tour when he was a little nervous about how people felt about him then, he always had the utmost professionalism and was always on time, and again, just blew them away.

I’ve had the opportunity to talk with people like Nelson Mandela and Oprah Winfrey, but the relationship with Michael was very special. Every time I left him, I’d be sad seeing him standing on the porch waving good-bye. He was always so welcoming, so hospitable. He was never about selfishness or harming anyone. He was always about trying to be closer to God, to be Christ-like. He loved more than he was loved and was always trying to get closer to God, to do the right thing even though it wasn’t always what he wanted to do. And whenever he was tested, he looked for his strength within, from bringing God into his body and putting him first in his life. Michael was really very spiritual and put God in control of his life.

He was truly blessed by God.

Japan has more orphanages than any place in the world and Michael wanted to do something for them while he was there so we picked one to visit that just so happened to be supported by Bill and Melinda Gates. Michael would arrive with no publicity and with multiple toys for each child. His own kids would go with him and he would be educating them as to what was going on. The kids were delighted, but Michael would also take the time to personally shake the hands of each of the nuns at the orphanage thanking each of them for taking care of the children.

And people just melted around him. One time when he was taking his kids to Disneyland, word had gotten out that he was coming and everyone knew his favorite ride was Peter Pan, so there was gridlock by the time he arrived. But he just held his hands up and the crowd opened up like parting the Red Sea. Then he would watch the parade from the Main Street rooftop and eat hot dogs and French fries with his kids. I thank God everyday that I was graced by this angel and am reminded even moreso that we can’t take our time here for granted. There is no tomorrow promised and you’ve gotta let people know you love them. That’s what Michael was about.—Qadree El-Amin, Southpaw Entertainment
