He loved them very, very much. He always wanted them to grow up with the right values, he teach them to be very well mannered, he teach them to be nice and kind with everyone..
He washed them, he dressed them.. he was afraid of allergies, when they were in hotels his stuff had a list of all the foods that children could eat and the foods that could not eat.
I read that at the ranch he didn't let them play too far for fear of coyotes.
He loved them so, so much and they loved him too.. those who sow him with his children said that Michael was the great father, the best.
Michael's biggest wish was that his children know how much he loved him... he loved them more than anything and for him they always were in the first place.
