Our Last Birthday

May 30,1997

Two months later

Roberta's POV

As we all are gathered in my fathers Den in the family home in New York i realize that this maybe our last birthday celebration . From the day that i was born me and my dad have celebrated our birthday together . Our birthdays are two days apart I'm the 28th of may he's the 30th . Its been only two months since we was told the horrible news . I still can't believe it . I prayed so hard since then that he doesn't leave me and my brother . The most hardest part is having to explain to my daughter about her grandpa or as she calls him "grandpop" haha she loves him so much and i think that's because of the connection me and my dad has . All of our family and his friends are in the house enjoying this day because we aren't sure if this will be his last birthday with us . He's enjoying himself too . He told us that he didn't want to see nobody "mopping" around today or ever again . So we have had a blast and as we sing happy birthday to him he holds my mom hand and my left hand as i hold my baby in my other arm as we blow out the candles for the 36th time for me and 58th time for my dad on the cake that says "Happy Birthday Bobby and Roberta  . We sit and eat cake and we are now getting the yhe presents even after he said he didn't want nothing because he  is already happy that he made 58 years of living . All the presents are open but mines ... i decided that i need to start using my vocal cords more often after being told by so many people that are in show business that i have a beautiful Voice . He always fell in love with song "One Moment In Time"by Whitney Houston . As i make my way to the front an house staff gives me a Mic and i spoke :

Good evening everyone, again happy birthday daddy . My present to you is a song.  Your favorite . This song seems perfect for a time like this .. the song is called One Moment In Time ...

After singing everyone was on their feet and had tears in their eyes ... even dad . He hugged me and we relax for the rest of the party rather he did i guess he was tired . We all left and i made sure my dad was in bed before i left . I hugged and kissed my parents and went home .

Michael's POV

Today was a bittersweet day . Ive seen roberta get emotional but never to the point of sentimental and intimacy . She even sung and it wasn't not one dry eye in the crowd  . She really put her all in today and i can tell she didn't want to go there . Well nobody really wanted to go there today . Her father was really proud of his daughter  . As we are now sitting in front of the house i look over at my family my queen is resting cuddled up next to my princess who's in her carseat sleeping . They look so much a like its incredible . I carry Roberta in and bill carried Lyn in . We get them in bed and i can't sleep . I'm just worried about when the day does come what will happen and prayed that she will be able to get over this devastation . I lay next to her and eventually fall asleep ...

Today was a bittersweet day . I will be by her side for whatever the outcome will be ...
