Dear God,

I know that sometimes you get tired of being perfect and want to feel what it’s like to have slip ups aka be human. I hate to say this but you really messed up this time! Why did you have to take Micheal? His time was not up yet. Fine he was testing your patience when he messed with all those prescription drugs but you know we’re only human!

So please God, please bring back MJ.

And while you’re at it, here’s my other list of celebrities that you took from me too soon. Bring them back too if you can.

5. Hip Hop: Big and Pac – these guys defined what would become the rap game for my generation.
