在視頻最後, 小男孩很吃力說了 " I love you " .... 不幸地這位小男孩在 2004年7月26日去世
This boy suffered a brain aneurysm which left him permanently confined to a wheel chair, and unable to speak. The boy made a wish to meet Michael Jackson, and on November 24, 1992, his wish came true. He was invited to Neverland, and, with the help of the Make-A-Wish foundation, got to meet his idol. The two shared an "I Love You" in sign language before saying goodbye.
Sadly the boy passed away on July 26, 2004.

Michael Jackson’s impact on music
will never cease. Although Jackson died June 29, his legacy will live on
through his music. From the time he five years old, Jackson was a chart topper.
When he went solo, Jackson became a global icon.
Through all of his success, he never forgot the little people. Jackson made it
a point to help numerous charities and donate millions. The Make-A-Wish
Foundation was one of the beneficiaries of Jackson ’s time and service.
That is how The King of Pop met young David Sonnet.
At the tender age of 8 years old, Sonnet’s life forever changed when he
suffered a brain aneurysm. While he was unable to write or talk, he could
function through a communication device which helped him convey his thoughts
through a specialized computer.
Sonnet was granted his wish when he was invited to Neverland Ranch in Nov. of
1992. One of only four kids to go to Neverland Ranch with Make-A-Wish (which
was sponsored by Sony), Sonnet met his hero Nov. 25, 1992. Sonnet was given a
“Beat It” jacket from a local charity in West Palm Beach Florida auction in
1988, which he wore for his special encounter. This jacket may have been worn
by Jackson during the “Beat-It” video but there is no documentation. The zip-up
was donated for a charity for raising money for a girl in the West Palm Beach
area who needed facial reconstruction surgery. Because the family knew that
Sonnet was a huge Michael Jackson fan, they gave it to him. It never made it to
the auction block.
The jacket shows wear and was only worn once by Sonnet when he met MJ. Jackson
came down from the second story of his Neverland home and made a bee-line for
Sonnet who was on the first floor saddled in a wheelchair once he saw the
jacket. He explained to the excited youngster “I see you have my jacket on.”
Because Sonnet was unable to talk or walk, although he did try getting out of
his chair, the two shared an “I Love You” in sign language. Jackson was visibly
emotional during the encounter.
Sonnet gave Jackson a stuffed lion and picture of himself. Jackson told Sonnet
that he would keep the photo of him in his room.
The story doesn't end there though.
Sonnet wrote to Jackson on various occasions as a show of support. Jackson
would write back and include photos and other personal mementos. The hat which
is featured in this auction was gifted from Jackson to Sonnet and has a mailing
address from Neverland Ranch.
Sonnet sent a thank you card to Jackson and a wedding card when he married Lisa
Marie Presley. Both times Jackson responded with a signed letter and
salutation.
Many of the items Sonnet was given are featured in this auction. The jacket and
hat, which was sent by Jackson to Sonnet, and many Neverland-exclusive items
are featured.
According to Debbie Sonnet, David’s mother, Jackson ’s music did help pull him
out of a coma. His recovery room was decorated with numerous Jackson photos and
his music was played at all times.
Sonnet passed away July 26, 2004. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these
treasures will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
There is video documentation available on-line from when Sonnet and Jackson met
at Neverland Ranch. There is also an interview with Sonnet’s mother captured
which will further vouch for authenticity. Scans are available on-line a Sony
questionnaire and his responses (which were written by his mom). Footage of the
Sonnet's encounter with Jackson will be available on-line.
Imagine the surprise David Sonnet had when this package was opened. Straight
from Neverland Ranch, with a return mailing label to Jackson 's famous house,
comes this hat. Jackson made the hat famous in the 1980s as these type of hats
accompanied him on-stage or in music videos.
The offered wool hat was gifted to Sonnet from Jackson in the late '90s.
"MICHAEL JACKSON" is screened in gold letters on the inside leather
headband. A size "Large" label is secured on the headband as well.
Jackson signed the inside in paint pen and inscribed "To David Sonnet All
My Love" and "1998". Michael Jackson worn treasures have rarely
surfaced
