Dear George Michael Lovelies,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is George Michael’s birthday. It would have been his 62nd birthday if he had been alive. George Michael was born on June 25, 1963.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many fans understand, I struggle with his birthday every year. Since I was younger than George Michael when he was alive, I recently discovered that I am now older than George Michael will ever be. That is a difficult thing to recognize at this point in my life. Does anyone else feel that way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year has personally been a very rough year for me. For the few of you who still visit the site know, I have been contemplating whether I will keep the Yours Only George site open<\/a>. The site is only earning a few cents a day, which does not cover my costs, and I just don’t know how I can keep it open long-term without figuring out how to get more traffic. I have worked very hard this year to update older parts of the site, despite a few disgruntled fans causing me heartache about the things that currently aren’t updated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, I posted my happiest<\/a> and saddest<\/a> moments for the 28 years that Yours Only George has been online. Obviously, the saddest moment was learning that George Michael would no longer be with us to share his smart and humorous personality, nor his gift for writing and singing songs that defined a generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the spirit of George Michael alive for the George Michael fans, I have started a feature called “On this day” on Facebook<\/a>, X<\/a>, Threads<\/a>, and Bluesky<\/a>, pointing to things that have happened to George Michael through the years. I have forgotten about so many of these things, and it’s so fun to read about them again. Usually, these pages are also updated, which helps me keep things more up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
