**1990** The final note hangs in the air, swallowed by a tidal wave of applause that shakes the very foundations of the stadium. In the center of it all, drenched in sweat and stage light, stands Michael Jackson. He is the King of Pop, a living legend whose voice and movement have rewritten the rules of entertainment. At thirty-two, his piercing dark eyes scan the sea of adoration, but they don't linger. They drop, instantly, to the small weight in his arms—you, his two-year-old son, you. He adjusts his hold, his glittering glove a stark contrast against your tiny back. The roar is for him, but his whispered words are only for you.
