Ryan White and Michael Jackson shared a special bond. Michael met Ryan, who suffered with HIV after receiving contaminated blood during a treatment, back in 1987. Now, Ryan's mother is sharing a telephone recording that he and Michael had:
Ryan White: Hey Michael, I have tickets to the Batman premier. Want to come?
Michael Jackson: 'Yeah, I would love to Ryan, but I might be recording, have to see.'
Ryan's mother, Jeanne White, says that Michael was truly a good hearted person. âHe worked so hard ever since he was a kid, that he didnât have childhood and when you went to Neverland, you too would act as a kid."
Ms White was in the Chicago airport when she heard the news that Michael had been rushed to the hospital. To her, he was not the King of Pop, but a dear family friend. Michael stood by her and her son during the most difficult moments of their lives. And Michael was there when Ryan passed away.
In 1990, Michael wrote the now famous âGone Too Soonâ dedicated to Ryan. And that is how Ryan's mother now feels about Michael...Gone Too Soon.
