My dearest Jjong,
Thank you. Thank you for working so hard to be here with us for the time you could get through. You did work so hard. And I hope you know that even though you are no longer with us we have always loved you and always will. Heaven gained another Angel on Monday 18 December 2017 and we will never forget this date. I’ve cried so much and I’ve tried to talk to you, just looking up at the sky and asking 왜???? 오빠 가지마, 갈 수 없어. 보고 싶을 거야. 도와 줄 수 없는데 미안해. (Why??? Don’t go oppa, you can’t go. I’ll miss you. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you). I had nightmares and I can’t sleep now. It’s 4:30AM and I have work at 10 and I can’t sleep because your death reminds me of my own depression and anxiety and pain that made me suicidal years ago. But what pulled me out of that??? You. You did. And I’m so sorry I couldn’t do the same for you. I owe you my career and to an extent my life. Without SHINee I wouldn’t have found a language, a people, a country, a culture I love. I wouldn’t be in the program I love. I wouldn’t be who I am without you. I just want to thank you for being there for all of us. We will never forget what you’ve done for all of us individually and as a whole. You are another star in the sky and when I look up I’ll know you are there with people who love you and you’re another angel looking down upon me and protecting me. I think of your parents and sister and team every day. We will take care of them. Please don’t worry. When we see the stars at night we will be reminded of your bright personality. When we see rainbows we will know we are standing under your colors. When we feel the wind we will feel your embrace. When the sun shines down on us we will feel the warmth of your love. Your suffering is over. I’m just sorry we couldn’t get rid of it when you were alive. I feel guilty but I also feel blessed that I had you for the time I did. Thank you oppa. This letter healed me a bit but it will take time for this to fully heal. I’ll see you there one day but I promise not too soon.
종현 오빠, 사랑해. 당신의 시간을 주셔서 고맙습니다. 안녕히 가세요.
Trying to advertise this for the 18th but someone else is bidding really hard so I am running out of karma (already bought more for over 30dollars) so if you have some spare you are willing to donate, I would be really thankful.
I'm aware that it isn't December but I just thought of this post. December will never be easy for a lot of us. I'm more aware of my depression around that time. I just became an adult and the realization that a lot can change has finally hit me. I'm not sure how to feel. People within my family have died or are dying and it seems like the only thing I'm allowed to do is move on. I'm no longer given the luxury of grieving the way I had with Jonghyun. There are so many fond memories that I can go back to with Jjong but for them I only have memories. So much has happened these past few years and while I'm not completely okay I can say there's plenty of room where I've healed.
As year 6 approaches I want my fellow Shawols to know that healing is hardly a linear task. It's okay to not be ready but where you are there's always going to be SHINee.
And Dear Author thank you for keeping this space for all of us.
Thank you for keeping this space for us for so many years <3 This milestone hit me a lot harder than expected, but seeing this brought so much comfort. Miss you to the moon and back, Jonghyun <3
It’s been five years today and just a few days ago I turned 27, the age Jonghyun-ah was when we had to say goodbye to him. I have long since had to “become an adult” and learn what growing up means; yet every year I come back to this little space, and read some of the messages that people wrote for him, and think back to the letter I wrote at 22 and never shared with anyone. I think back to a memory of me looking at the full moon and talking to him for hours, telling him I missed him terribly. We still miss you, friend. I still remember you fondly. I still remember me at 17 dancing to Replay in my room. I’ll always cherish those memories of our Spring.
Author, I hope you have been doing well. Thank you so much for keeping this space running for so long, it brings comfort to some more than you’ll ever know.
Chapter 818: I just really paid attention to SHINee this August. Yet, when Jonghyun passed away four years ago, I felt sad that another beautiful and caring person chose to leave this place. In fact, I didn't want to listen to any SHINee songs then.
Now, watching SHINee's MVs, I feel like I have accepted what happened and hope that he is really happy now.
Time keeps moving on and I wonder why I can't just go back and fix things to when it was so peaceful. So much has happened in the last four years and it feels as though there's only SHINee left to comfort me. Jonghyun for so long I've written my letters to you and I couldn't this year because I couldn't find the strength or will to when I was feeling down. I haven't cried this much since I was a baby. I promised last year that I would tread the new year with caution and that didn't work out so great. There's more I wanna say but I just wish you knew how much I love you. Thank you for being born and sharing your light with the world. Sincerely I love you. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 ❤️
It’s been 4 years now and so it’s hard to believe that you left us, but I still do remember you as SHINee’s Blingbling Angel and as the brightest star that shines in the sky.
I used to feel so lonely after knowing that you left us, that I was listening to Lonely everyday for about a year, but now I just remind myself that you’re still with us, as the bright shining star watching over us from the night sky. ❤️
I will always love you.
i was InMemoryOfJonghyun!
just thought i'll let you know so you don't add this username again~ =]
anyways, good luck with the add and for all those who come here and are thinking of Jjong and of others and themselves.
