A Reflection - The Value of Sharing
I am very sorry. I feel nautius while making myself search through all
of this. I just can't believe it is reality. Well, for the past ten
years I have collected everything from albums to video compilations to
god knows what. I met Michael on sept. 18, 1997. This is the day my
life was complete. It is very strange that just two months later my
feelings and emotions could be in such shambles. Is that my penance. I
don't know but it is nice to know that others are taking this to heart
as I do. Your page is wonderful. Thanks for listening and loving.

Saying Goodbye

Ciao Nicole
One Fan's Reflections ~ Sent to the INXS Mailing List ~ Shared With You
I know that just what you all need is yet another piece of mail. But I
seem to feel the inclination today to share what's been on my mind for
the last 10 days or so. This is my first post to the list...
actually.... until this tragedy, I'd never chatted in a chat room,
posted on any list, or grieved so deeply for someone I had never met in
person.
On Friday the 21st of November at 11:00 PM, a friend of mine called
me.... her words still ring in my ears "Did you hear about Michael
Hutchence?" "No. What's up?" (here I am thinking that I'm about to
receive some news of a positive nature) "He's Dead." And she proceeded
to tell me the then breaking news. My knees gave out and I had to sit
down. It felt as if someone had just ripped my heart out. I called
another friend who is also a fan to tell her the news and hopefully talk
about it.... she wasn't home. I was thinking... I really need to talk
about this.... Where can I go? Who could possibly understand the
feelings that I'm having regarding someone I never met? And the
lightbulb went off.... I headed to my computer.... and logged into
Neil's chat room.... I always knew it was there, I had just never
thought to check it out.... I was immediately comforted by people all
over the world feeling the same way... Some had been fans since the
beginning and others just since the release of Elegantly Wasted. Some
had met Michael, some new him well, some had never seen INXS live. Some
were older and some were younger. You all get the picture. But we all
felt the loss and still do...
I honestly don't know what I would have done with out all of you
since this awful tragedy. Never in my life have I met such a caring and
compassionate group of people. In this world today, sometimes I find
myself wondering if there are even any left out there. Now I know the
answer. As I read all of your posts and as I chat with some of you in
the chat room.... I think about the fact that we all have different
stories, we all have different interests, different ideas of how the
world should be and how the world actually is, etc.... But we all share
this common bond... an extreme loyalty, love, and admiration for a truly
remarkable human being whose life on this planet was all to short.
Michael will never be forgotten... he will live on for all eternity in
our hearts.
I want to thank a few people really quickly before I let you go.
First I want to thank all of the people who have been in the chat room
since the tragedy. For the most part, I feel that you all have shown
extreme compassion and understanding.... a warmth beyond anything I
think I've ever felt. There are too many to name individually, but you
all know who you are and I send you a really big cyber hug of thanks.
I want to thank Stazya, Sherrianne, and Lys especially, their pages are
incredible.... evident of truly remarkable souls. (and all of you whose
pages and tributes I haven't had the time to check out)
I want to thank Lenore for all of her stories about Michael and the guys
that have allowed me, and others to be sure, to live vicariously through
her.
I want to thank Neil for An Excess of INXS.... an incredible website, to
say the least, and evident of true devotion.
And of course I want to thank the man himself, Michael Hutchence,
without whom I don't know where I'd be. For the last ten years INXS has
been a regular part of my life.... and the only band that I could ever
honestly say is my favorite. I want to thank him for his music and for
touching my soul in a way that very few ever have with words and a style
unlike any other. I will never understand why he's gone, I guess I
just have to accept it. And I want to thank him for bringing us all
together. I believe in the proverbial silver lining that surrounds
every dark cloud, even the darkest of clouds such as this one, and that
silver lining can be found in all of you. Michael, wherever you are, I
hope you are at peace and that you are happy. You are and will always
be missed.
Thank you all for listening... today, in the past, and I'm sure in the
future....
