Hi Everybody,
How are you? I've been meaning to write for some time now. I wanted to wait to the end of the tour before writing. I was completely shocked to receive the medal and scrap book.(Did you all choose Atlanta for any particular reason or hinting about Nationals?) I have yet to decide what I'll be doing next season. I guess I will try and take a little break before making any decisions.
I just want to tell you how touched I was when I got the humongous check for $10,000 to Children's Miracle Network.
You guys are the best!!
Thanks for everything.
Love, Michelle
P.S it was great seeing some of you guys backstage at Anaheim.
P.P.S if anybody is following the Stanley Cup finals...GO Ducks

wow, Michelle! How soon ago did the Anaheim show end? You're pretty fast! It's good to hear you were touched by the check. We all worked really hard on that project for a while!
Good to hear from you again, it was fun meeting you backstage in Seattle :) Good luck making your decisions for next year, whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be the best for you!

Hi Michelle! I doubt you'd be sitting there refreshing this thread or anything, but it was great to see YOU tonight! You skated well, and you looked great in that dress (lol, did some partying I assume?)!! So did your sister.
I hope you didn't think I was stalking you like crazy after I spoke with you - I just wanted to get a pic of you and Francis for Francis! Oh well, next time.
Haha, what does Brad say about you liking the Ducks?!
Thanks for everything - you are one of the coolest gals I've ever met!

Wow, like smileyllama said, you posted so fast! I was just chatting with some MKFers who met you backstage in Anaheim. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the medal and the scrapbook, and of course the CMN check. I know everyone here is proud that we were able to donate so much to such a worthy cause.
I know that whatever you decide for next season and beyond will be for the best. Take your time (I'm sure you can use a vacation!) We'll be behind you all the way!

Michelle!!!! :) Glad to see you here, it's always a huge surprise and a wonderful moment.
I had the time of my life talking to you at COI in Anaheim. (It was a great bday present ;) )Thank you for taking the time to talk to your fans and for granting us a little of your time. It means so much to us!! You had a wonderful performance to "Fallin" and I can't wait to go next year again to Champions on Ice. You truly are a wonderful, humble, sophisticated, classy, easygoing and did I say wonderful person? ;) Thank you again for sharing your skating and very precious time with us. We really appreciate everything you give us.
Whatever you decide to do for next year, we will be supporting you. Just do what is best for you and the rest will fall into place.
Looking forward to seeing you again in Anaheim next year!!!!!!! :) :rollin :rollin

Hi Michelle
I was so happy to finally get to meet you. My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the show. We love your skate to fallin.
The show was great. Thanks to all the Mk forum fans for helping my daughter and I get back stage passes. I finally got Michelle's autograph.
I have been to so many shows and this is the first time I got a chance to back and get so many skaters autographs. My daughter and I had a great drive home just talking about all the nice people we meet and now we are looking forward to next years show.
Thanks Michelle and thanks MKforum.

I was lucky enough to be backstage at COI in Columbus... thanks for holding up the sign for the picture I took, to say hi to the MKF! That was super-sweet of you! And thanks SO much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post again! You are too good to us! :)
Whatever you decide to do next season, we're behind you all the way! And I don't really watch hockey, but since you're rooting for the Ducks, that sounds good to me... GO DUCKS! LOL! Take care, and enjoy your summer! :)

Wow!! It's so exciting that you managed to post here again. hehe...don't know where you were when you posted, but it was around 11pm in LA. I'm still up supposedly studying for finals... By the way, I'm waiting to see you in UCLA one of these years. :p
I'm sure you already heard it, but I wish to say that the platinum medal signifies that in our hearts, you deserve more than a gold medal. The check shows our whole-hearted support for the charity you're committed to. I thought that the scrapbook was a big thing for all the MKFers who contributed to it. It was a chance for a lot of your fans who never got to meet you to show you our love, and also to show you a little bit of ourselves. Either to tell you how you affected our lives, to put a face to some of your fans, to show you a little of our personalities through that one piece of paper. I was truly grateful to be even slightly involved in this project.
I love you! And I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do in the future. [[[HUG]]] :SAL

Wow, Michelle, you posted at 2:13:21 am. You stayed up that late. What did you do ? I thought you always have a regular daily routine. I thought you're good at time management. Normally, with a good time management like you. You don't stay up that late.
Anyways, nice to hear from you. I am just surprised that you stayed so late.
Even it was 2 am Eastern time, but by the West Coast time, it should be like 11pm. It is still kinda late for you.

We are so happy about your wonderful, joyful season and I feel especially fortunate because I was at Nationals (the one with the 'Always Believe Michelle' sign) and I saw COI twice. Thank you for coming over to your fans hanging out at the fence after COI in North Little Rock, AR. You are always so gracious, so giving.
Have a great vacation with lots of fun and relaxation! Please know that whatever you decide to do next year, whatever you give your time and talents too - we will be there supporting you all the way! :)

Anyway, I'm glad you appreciated the medal, scrapbook and CMN check. As others have already said, it's a way of us all saying, "Thanks for everything, especially for being so great to your fans." You Rock!

I loved your program, but missed some when I was trying to take pictures! :lol I hope we can see Fallin' on TV sometime next year as it is a magnificant program. You don't need to rush your decision. I hope you get to spend some quality time with your family and friends.
And as for cheering for the Ducks . . . well I just don't think I can do that! ;) :lol Maybe next year it will be the Wings and Coyotes in the Western Conference finals! ;) :)
Take care and have a ton of fun this summer! :)

As for next season, do whatever feels right to you because you obviously know what works best.

I wasn't able to go see you at Champions on Ice this year. It sounds like you had such a great time, that's what it's all about! I really wish I could have seen Fallin', it sounds like a wonderful program. And the Ducks, eh? Well, I'm not into hockey but if you say 'Go Ducks,' then I say 'Go Ducks!' :lol

It's very cool that you've posted again, thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule. Enjoy the off season and of course, follow your heart when making decisions for the next year.
I was wondering if you'd root for the Ducks and was so pleased to see you come out in the Ducks jersey last night. It looked great. Thank you for taking the time to stop and chat with your fans after COI, it was indeed a pleasure. Hopefully the picture we took together (with my Rally Monkey, LOL) will come out.
Enjoy the game tonight, and hopefully we'll get a chance to see you on TV. GO DUCKS!!
**edited to add, davesato is correct, we do have Shep to thank for the passes. Thanks Shep!!

So nice to hear from you. I briefly met you after COI in Sacramento. I wasn't able to get backstage passes, so although happy after seeing the show, I was feeling rather forlorn as we could see the group with backstage passes getting the autographs and pictures. And then you walked up to the little group of us by the buses. Two of us were from MKF and you so graciously let us take pictures with you. It all happened so fast I never got to thank you for taking the time to see us. So Thank you very much, and I hope you have a great vacation!

Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks for the medal, scrapbook and donation...you're more than welcome. But I also want to say-Thank YOU, Michelle!
I was sitting here giggling at my computer at your Atlanta question...that was MY thought initally as well, but Heather and Shep and *other* Heather:lol told us it was just one of those neat things how it worked out...
But fair warning, if you're there...we'll be there cheering and believing all the way! NO MATTER WHAT next season brings, we'll be cheering and believing! Enjoy your vacation, and thanks a million...for you.
All the best of everything.

...On your World Championship and what appeared to be a very successful tour. I am a sports fan but never followed skating until I saw your picture in the GP Daily Courier after you won the World's in March and looked you up on the net and was spellbound by your beauty, talent and incredible success. You got a hold of my heart. I was furthur intrigued when I learned that you were born in Torrance, as was I.
Again, congratulations on your success and I wish continued prosperity and Happiness. And remember...

Corbon,
I'm going to have to counter the karma with my Lucky Jersey tonight. There's way too much karma leaning towards the Ducks. I need to balance the forces.

Hi Michelle! It's my first day back on the forum from my surgery, and boy did I get a good surprise!
I'm so happy you love your medal, but I'm sure you loved the donation even more.
I personally hope you continue to skate in nationals in worlds through the olympics, just because you now look "in the zone" everytime you take the ice, but I know that's your decision. Enjoy your vacation, dear friend!
With love,
Ashley

Wow! Hi Michelle!
I think I nearly jumped out of my seat when I got on to the forum and saw under announcements you had posted again! :eek You are such a sweetie! What a great season it was for you! Have a great time in your time off, and enjoy the summer! You are such a great role model. Your poise, maturity, and everything that makes you who you are provides me with someone to look up to. This summer my flute teacher is going to let me play some selections from Scherezade. You can bet that I'll be thinking of you TONS! Thank you Michelle.

P.S. (I'm still crying about the Ducks beating the Wings in Round 1. But, I did find myself rooting for them the other night.)

Hi Michelle! Thanks so much for writing again. I figured you'd post after the tour ended, but WOW that was fast! Figuring out the time difference between here (NY) and Anaheim, I can't believe you! :) If I had stayed on the computer only a little while longer last night your post would have already been here!
Thank you so much for this "gift" season, as so many have dubbed it. No pressure for decisions, just do what makes you happy and know that we are supporting you all the way!
Still proud,

We will support you whatever you decide. You make the best decisions. I am so glad we could give you something in return for all the Kwanderful performances you have given us.

Thanks for the post and thanks for the great season. I have been a skating fan since 1960 but until this year I had never been to a competition. What a year for me to decide to attend Nationals and Worlds! I got to see your three wonderful performances at Nationals and four at Worlds, plus many unbelievable practices.
I also want to thank you for skating "Fields of Gold" at 2003 Worlds. I'm sorry I won't get to see "Fallin" since COI wasn't televised and didn't come to Texas this year, but I was so touched to see that last FOG performance, as I was there when you skated it the first time at the Tribute show, and several times in between. That program epitomizes the beauty of your skating and touches our hearts. There are many of us who can't watch it without tears in our eyes. Thank you for all you've given us.

Thank you so much for this season and all the wodnerful years of skating you've given us. Hopefully, you'll have another year of wonderful skating. Maybe 3 or 4 more yeears of wonderful skating.

You're the best role model in the world for young people (and even older ones like me ;) ). Also, we simply loved your performance yesterday, as always.
Whatever you decide about next season, we'll all be here supporting you. I'm sure you know that by now :) . Just follow your heart and you'll make the right decision. All we want is whatever you want. So stay healthy and happy and enjoy some well-deserved time off. Congratulations on a great season, and God bless you.

Thank you of course for taking time out to drop us a line here to let us know how you're doing, and I am so so thrilled that you liked the medal, scrapbook, and check for CMN. It was a joy and a pleaseure to work on it all. But I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to sign my We're Proud Michelle sign at The View. I had made it for Worlds and it was hanging in the arena and then sheherezade brought it to The View and was kind enough to ask you to sign it. Thank you so much, for signing it and personalizing it too! You are too good to us fans, and we love you for it.
I didn't get to COI this year, although I was at Worlds- what an experience. And I'll be at Campbell's along with the rest of the MKF contingent. I can't wait for Cambell's, Baby! :D
You truly do RACH Michelle, thanks for everything! Enjoy your summer and well-deserved time off! :)

Michelle,
It is so nice to hear from you. Congratulations on a wonderful
unforgettable season!!!!!! I loved seeing you skate with such
joy and abandon, my heart swelled with pride every time you
took the ice.
I am so glad you like the medal and the scrapbook. I had so
much fun doing all of my pages. I made my personal page,
and three others.
Most of all your reaction to the check to CMN was priceless.
As you know after reading my letter, this part of the project
holds such a special meaning for me because of my precious
Tarynn, who is a CMN kid, and a true living miracle and inspiration. I am so proud of you to be a part of this wonderful
organization, and I am proud to be a part of this forum where
there are such incredible people who gave so much to CMN.
I forgot to add in my letter that on March 27 we celebrated
Tarynn's "heart day" with a heart shaped cake and a donation
to Schneider Children's Hospital, the CMN hospital where
Tarynn had her surgery.
I hope someday that Tarynn and I can meet you to personally
say "thank you".
Have a wonderful vacation sweetie, you deserve it. You will
be in my thoughts and prayers. I am proud of you, and behind
whatever decisions you have about skating in the future.
Keep dreaming and believing.

Thank you for signing my daughter's Giguere 35 T-shirt. And for letting me take your picture. And for the huge smile you gave me when I told you that you looked gorgeous (and I really meant it--you were definitely ready for a night on the town!)

Hi Michelle and welcome back to the Forum!
I gotta say that yesterday turned out to be a very MK-fun filled day for me! I was so excited in the afternoon to finally pick up a copy of the current Blades on Ice issue which features you as the cover story. Then no sooner had I connected to the internet than I spotted on the MKF front page the announcement of your newest post! And finally, later in the evening, there you were looking terrific on national tv, being interviewed during the NHL finals game. What's that saying - all good things come in threes? :p
Have a great summer and good luck with your decision making!

Hi Michelle,
It was great seeing you in Denver. We loved the show. I know that whatever decision that you make for next year will be the right decision and of course all of us at the forum are just going to be selfish and hope that is it a decision that we can enjoy and stress over again.
I also want you to know that I just loved your new programs this year "The Feeling Begins and Aranjuez" were perfect for you but of course you don't need me to tell you that. I don't know if you watched a replay of world but it seems like when you skate they really harp on how wonderful your techinque is. I think you have proven that its not all about jumping that the sport is called Figure Skating for a reason.
I will be watching for and reading everything I can this summer to keep up with the KWAN. Have a wonderful summer vacation.

Oh so cool that you were able to post again Michelle :) ! We really really appreciate the time and effort to give all of us yet another gift.
Count me in as one who was thrilled at your reaction to the check and I am happy we managed to keep it and the medal a surprise. I hope the love and appreciation we have for you shines through the medal and emerges from the scrapbook and gives help to the children of the CMN. As for the presentation being in Atlanta, I have to admit that we would all be thrilled to see you there next year :) !
I was backstage at COI in Anaheim, but like imazdi, my sister and I were not with the big MKF group. We were wearing our blue MKF ribbons, but I don't know if you noticed. My sister said I was your #1 fan, but I think that would be your family. I am a *huge* fan though :D ! You may remember signing my cast (color is close to aranjuez blue :lol ). I always seem to get tongue tied when I am face to face with you :o . I wanted to say how much I loved your skating and that you lifted my spirits this year when I needed it most. You never cease to amaze me with how many times you have made me cry from one of your performances. I used to think that it would be hard to top the perfection of 1998 Nats, although several have been mighty close, but you did it again with your Fields of Golds at the Olympics and with The Feeling Begins and Aranjuez at Nats and Worlds. I truly believe that you are the finest skater I have ever or will ever see.
Thanks again for stopping by and posting again. Have a great vacation and summer break. Last, as a fellow Southern Californian - GO DUCKS!!!

Thanks Michelle for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post your kind words for your fans here. I came to the MKF a bit too late to contribute to the Medal and CMN fund, but if I had joined in time, I would have been honored to do so. You are a classy lady, and your sense of sportsmanship is impeccable.
Being one of your older fans, having followed your career since 1993, IMHO you are the finest American Lady Figure Skater ever. Peggy Flemming spoke for all your fans when following your free skate at Worlds, she exclaimed emphatically, "She is an incredible athlete!" You really are, and the joy you experience everytime you skate, your face emotes to all of us, and we then get to share this joy through you. To me, this is what sets you apart from all the other skaters in the world.
Congratulations on another spectacular season on the ice, and all the best to you in all you seek to accomplish in the future.
Unconditional love and respect from this fan for life.... I am,

Thanks so much for posting, Michelle! Glad you liked the Atlanta surprise. You are always so generous with us; you inspired us to try to be like that too, sharing a bit of ourselves with you and some of our resources with others. You bring out the best in us!
This has been such a wonderful year! You seemed to be enjoying every moment, and so did we. Now enjoy a well-deserved rest this summer!
Love,
Sonna (one of the NY group at The View)

I'm so glad you liked the scrapbook, medal and the CMN contribution. I was proud to be a small part of a group of great people who beleive in you, many of whom you've met. Thank you so much for recognizing and appreciating them. Thanks again for the joy your skating has always brought to me AND, this year, to you as well. This season was special. You got your twinkle back, you followed your heart. You'll know what's right for you, just as you did this year. What ever you do, our heart and hopes follow. Enjoy the off season. Don't stay away too long. 'Cause eight would be nice...

How wonderful that you decided to write to us again. We appreciate and look forward to your posts. We hope that the check to CMN and the medal give you some clue as to how much you are treasured by your fans. We can't thank you enough for all of the wonderful years of skating you've given us. And I think that 2002-2003 has been the most gratifying and the "sweetest" from beginning to end. Thank you for The Decade of Brilliance you've given to the world. You are truly extraordinary in every sense of the word.

Hey Michelle,
I saw you at Anaheim for COI and for the Ducks in game 4. You were awsome in your Ducks jersey and what a goal that was. You are so awsome. You are the greatest skater in the world. Take care.

Hey Michelle!!
Last night I had the coolest dream, I had a dream that you, Sasha Cohen, and Sarah Hughes were at my favorite ice arena in Maine, and you three were skating there, and I came, and I skated for a while with you all, then I remembered that I was in an exhibition there (I was) and we had to wear these Gold sashes in the group routine, and you had your Fields Of GOld costume on, and I thought that you should have the sash for the Olympic Exhibition where you did your Fields Of Gold one, and you didn't want to take it from me because it had a lot of memories of the rink to it, But you borrowed it for that routine and then yuo signed it and gave it back to me!! that was my favorite dream I've ever had! I really wish it was true! :FBO :YS You are my idol! I wish I could meet you in person! That would be the best day ever! You're the best!!
Samantha:SP
ps. when do u think you'll be coming down to Florida anytime soon?? if so, when???????????

Dear Michelle,
I was trying to get Paul Wiley to contact you, but Mark Konopacke said that he was not with Disney anymore and was on a long vacation this summer. So I am trying this... I am co-chair of our local Families with Children from China (FCC) group's charity committee. We raise money for the children left behind in the orphanages in China. There are hundred's of thousands of these beautiful children that need help either with surgery, education or just basic needs such as food, medicine and nannies to love them. There are orphanages that house up to 150 infants sleeping two in a crib. There are so many that desparately need our help.
I was wondering if you could help us raise money by appearing in the Milwaukee area. Perhaps for an autograph/picture session or a short performance or even a skating clinic. There are so many Chinese-American girls here that look up to you and would love to meet you or see you perform. I know you are probably bombarded with requests such as this everyday and are short on time, but it would be so wonderful if you would consider helping us in some way.
You can reach me at hearmartell@hotmail.com or by phone 262-695-4491 (Milwaukee, WI).
If you are interested, I can send you more information on the orphanages and our organization.
Thank you,
Betsy Martell
P.S. I am also a fan of yours and would be just as excited as the girls to meet you. You are such an inspiration to young women everywhere.

The most wonderful thing of all in the world of figure skating is that even the legends of figure skating look up to Michelle Kwan because she can dig deep inside our hearts and take away our sorrows by her MAGICAL skating. Michelle Kwan is figure skating's blessing coz without her, it is so boring.

Hello, Michelle W. Kwan...I hope you will get a chance to check this message...if not, then I would feel really bad...If you are reading this, I just want to say "Thank you" for taking the time to autographed your name on the yellow Fendi envelope...I was just about to leave the store and to my honor and privileged I was able to meet you in person...That was really an amazing experience to be able to meet you so close in person...though I've seen you numerous times in competition and on T.V...Oh...and I hope I wasn't being intrusive by conversing with you there for awhile...I really am not the type that goes up to a celebrity and starts bothering unless he/she was my idle...But, anyways, were you able to find something you like at Fendi? If not, Gucci's got some cute stuff there, too...Well, I don't want to take up too much of your time...I live in San Diego, so if you happen to be around the area...and in the mood for Chinese food (and I know you must like Chinese food, cuz your parents own a restaurant)...come see me and I guess it wouldn't be a problem if I pick up your tab since I work there...just as a thank you favor in return for taking the time out to autographed for me...
The best of luck and wishes for the coming New Year...
May all your dreams and aspirations you have dedicated yourself in achieving becomes your reality...
I say this to you in Chinese for the upcoming New Year...
"Cung Hee Fat Choi"
