Thank you, lovely Elizabeth


Grace with beauty, charm and talent



I've posted quotes of Michael about Elizabeth in my previous blog, "What a Friendship Means.." tho those words are not enough to express how special their friendship was..

Q: "So you're Wendy and Michael is Peter?" I had asked Elizabeth Taylor afterwards.
Elizabeth: "Yeah.Yeah.There's a kind of magic between us."


"Elizabeth is also like a mother–and more than that.
She's a friend.She's Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, the Queen of England and Wendy."
~ Michael Jackson ~

Have you ever feel a true friendship?

A friend who will speak on your behalf when you no longer can say a word
A friend who will be there for you when the world leaves you alone
A friend who facing the triumph and disaster with holding hands together
A friend, who publicly defends you when no one believe you..
and a friend, who love you as being you, because no one is you-er than YOU..

And the honesty is there,
and that's enough for a true friendship...

“Elizabeth’s friendship is like the perfect jewels she owns — indestructible and eternal.”
~ Michael Jackson ~


So many tribute had been made to honor Michael and Liz' friendship, from making graphic artworks, Gifs, video, and even a dedicated side for Elizabeth, here are my favorites:






Last, but not least, a dedicated site for Dame Elizabeth Taylor: http://elizabethweloveyou.tumblr.com by @MyMJJTribute
here's one of her artwork:



More glimpse of their friendship:


“It is 1993, and this will be Michael Jackson’s very first Christmas.
It has taken me… I would think about 5 years of talking him into celebrating Christmas at Neverland because I understood that if you are a Jehovah’s Witness you don’t celebrate Christmas.
When he quit being a a Jehovah’s Witness I said to Michael,
‘I think Christmas is a wonderful way of celebrating love. It’s a celebration of love.’
And I can’t see Christmas without Michael or Michael without Christmas.”
~ Elizabeth Taylor ~



Michael: “But what Elizabeth didn’t know was that I was planning a surprise for her also.”

Elizabeth: Gasps “Oh my God! That’s amazing! I love it! Oh thank you!”
Michael: “You’re welcome.”

“The gift that I gave to Elizabeth, to me, it was unique. It looks like a painting but it isn’t. It’s a tapestry. This guy did it piece by piece.” ~ Michael Jackson ~

On February 19, 1994, at "The Jackson Family Honors" event held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Today we honor Elizabeth Taylor for who she is, as much as what she does.

For me, Elizabeth Taylor is the ultimate humanitarian, because she is the embodiment of love, compassion, faith, and integrity and she has been that ideal for hundreds and millions of fans over the five decades of her illustrious career.

Elizabeth began her career when she was nine years old and since then, has starred in some of the greatest of all American films. She has been, and she continues to be, one of the most celebrated women of the twentieth century. I know, from having the honor of being a friend of Elizabeth Taylor's, that she's in no need of another trophy or plaque to recognize her humanitarian work on behalf of the fight against AIDS.
And I also know Elizabeth is here tonight not for any ego gratification, but because this gives her another chance to get the all important message out to the public. The message of AIDS awareness and the need for compassion and the efforts to find a cure.
To the formation of AMFAR in 1986 and her own Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, no one has done more to fight this dreaded disease.
But in knowing Elizabeth, I know her reward comes from the work itself, from the small battles won in the all-out war, from the gains she's been responsible for by eliminating the problem for the world to see and from the unspoken things of the victims who's lives she has enhanced during their times on earth. In the midst of my recent trials and tribulations, Elizabeth stood by my side with unwavering strength and support.
Elizabeth stands for truth.
She's immune to criticism and unfearful to any challenge and places the highest truth in the wisdom of her own heart and the direct knowledge of her own intuition.
She is not swayed by public opinion, because she knows in the end truth always triumphs.

Elizabeth, I love you and we honor you not only for what you stand for, but also for the magnificence of who you are.
The world is a better place because of your existence.
Because Elizabeth is so unselfish in her devotions to humanity, it is doubly fitting that she be the recipient of the Jackson Family Honors award."
~ Michael Jackson ~


I've wrote a poem about friendship few years ago,
and I thought about this poem when I heard the news about Elizabeth, and flashed back on their special friendship..


“BE COOL and RELAX”

'Cause I’ll be there when you need me


I have two eyes to look after you
I have a mouth to advice you
I have two ears to hear you
I have a nose to smell
and warn the danger that may came after you…

But…. That’s not all…
I still have two hands to lift you up
when you’re down
And I still have two foots to walk beside you
when you’re alone

So.. Don’t Worry….
'cause I’ll be here for you
Just… Be Cool.. and Relax..

And my mind are full with our memories,
that always kept in my heart
...
"[Elizabeth Taylor and I] we're like brother and sister, mother and son, lovers...
it's a potpourri... it's something special." ~ Michael Jackson ~


♬ Remember the time I was alone
You stood by my side and said:
"Let's be strong"
You did all these tings
That only a true friend can do.. ♬

♬... Elizabeth, I love you
The world knows your work now
Above the things on Earth now
I pray one day I'll be just like... you... ♬


"It's so wonderful to be with her [Elizabeth].
I can really relax with her, because we've lived the same life and experienced the same thing"
~ Michael Jackson ~


and so, this beautiful friendship continues in Heaven,
lovely friends re-united again, only this time, it will last forever...


Thank you, lovely Elizabeth, for always be there for Michael,
We love you more...

Both of you are safe now from those tabloid junkies :)
We promise, to keep your legacy alive, to spread your messages, and to continue your humanitarian efforts...

"If it is not to make the world better what is money for?" ~ Elizabeth Taylor ~
