Dear Michael, Your music is associated with sad memories for me, but your music makes me feel happy. Right now, your current album, Nobody But Me and the song, “I Believe In You” makes me feel happy, but I recognize that it will be associated with sad events for you. Whenever I hear this song, it […]
Category: Meeting Michael Bublé
In 2014, I set out to meet Michael Buble to thank him for the gift of connection that his music created for me and my son who died. These posts originally appeared on my website: meetingmichaelbuble.ca which is no longer online.
Hey Bublé fans, @MichaelBublé’s birthday is September 9th. Please join me in celebrating @MichaelBublé. Let’s give back to him what he gives to us – positive energy, love, and hope. Here’s what you need to do (do 1 or all 3, up to you): Share a photo of you with a sign saying #IBelieveInYou and […]
Today I canceled my meetingmichaelbuble.com website. As soon as I did it, I just wanted to cry. I felt deflated and sad. I have all the information and can re-do it, but it’s no longer “out there”. It’s just been sitting for the past year and a half since I actually met Michael so there […]

Hooray! At this moment in time, there is exactly $1211 in the Jacob Kotler Memorial Fund. I’m so excited. That happened pretty quickly. It makes me realize how rapidly that number can change when donations of $100 come in. In times when I’m freaking out because, let’s face it, $100,000 is a BIG number, I […]
In my last blog post that was WAY too long ago, I mentioned that I had a new big, scary goal. I knew what it was then, but I was too scared to share it. It was so big I had to really think, “Do I really want to do it?” Okay, I KNEW I […]
I acknowledge this post has been long in coming. I have had a few weeks to bask in the glory and excitement of having successfully told Michael Bublé my story in person and taking a “selfie” souvenir to remember the event. It has been quite a ride. I have been sitting with my experience and processing it […]
