A Look Back at Those Memories *Part 3*
*****ENJOY!! IF YOU HAVENT READ THE OTHER TWO PARTS, *****PLEASE DO*****!!!!!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- *Back to 2011* I had just recalled my wedding night with Michael Jackson. The interview with Diane Sawyer continues and this segment of the whole interview is when the emotions finally spill and when the many tears drop... Diane: What were your feelings for Michael? What was he to you? When she asked that question, my heart started to soak with those same affections that I had felt when I had first laid eyes on Michael. Me: (pause, eyes filling with tears)..He was my everything...He was my heart, he was my soul...He was my best friend...and he was the complete opposite from the person who people perceived him to be. He was a normal, kind, gentle man who always stood out of his way to make others happy. (tears falling uncontrollably)...And I loved him so. He was the love of my life, and even though we had divorced....he never left my heart. Diane grabbed my hand in sympathy and handed me a tissue from a nearby tissue box as I began to break down. What I said all came from my heart. It was indeed true. I loved that man. Indeed, I did... Diane: I know that this would be even more emotional for you...but...where were you on June 25, 2009...the day he died? Me: Well...(clears throat)...I was in New York with our two daughters and our son when we heard the news that he was in the hospital. He planned to visit us before going on his "This Is It" tour about a week after...and I remember being in the kitchen, cutting and peeling potatoes for supper, when my daughters and my son ran inside the apartment, panicking...and that's when they informed me that he was in the hospital. Of couse, I panicked and right away, we bought a ticket to Los Angeles to visit him. While he was still alive, we promised ourselves that he was going to be okay, and he would probably be out of the hospital within a day or two. We were not going to think negative; we were going to be positive about it....but when we got to Los Angeles....(more tears falling, voice cracking) I-It....(takes a deep breath)..it was too late...he was dead before we arrived that night...I remembered we visited the hospital, and my daughter, Natasha, could barely breathe. She was almost having an anxiety attack. I entered his hospital room...there I saw his cold body. He was white as a sheet...(voice again cracking)..and h-he still had the bracelet that I had given him...(breaking down)... I couldn't talk anymore after I described the bracelet. That bracelet was what I gave him for our first anniversary in Puerto Rico in 1988. He had never taken the bracelet off ever since, even since our divorce... Diane: Leola, I am sorry that this had to happen. I remember when I interviewed you and Michael back in June 1995 to promote his HIStory album. You two looked so happy together and so much in love. But I want to ask you...what were all the factors that led to your divorce? I mean, we only know of one, which was the drug issue,..but what were the other ones? I finally answered after five seconds of silence to regain composure to speak after I talked about Michael's death. Me: Well, I won't tell you all of them because Michael and I agreed to keep them a secret, but there are some that I can tell. *Flashback to 1992* I walked inside our bedroom to see Michael pack many of his suitcases for his Dangerous Tour. My stomach twisted to see him leave me with his two daughters. Me: Michael...do you really have to do this? (leaning onto the door) Michael: Honey, I have to. I have to make my fans happy. Me: (walking besides him) But we're gonna miss you (picks up his red silk shirt and stares at it) Why do you always leave me? Michael: Babe..(holds my waist) I know that you and the girls will miss me, and I'll miss you too...but I have to do what I have to do in order to be a great performer. I hate touring, but...this is what I have to do. Me: But baby...(holds onto him) What am I gonna do without you? (starts crying, buries head onto his shoulder) ... TBC...
