Greeted By You Rocking The Kazoo

A Farewell

Dear Angel Jonghyun,
It looks like you gained some damn beautiful wings. Well, you earned it. You worked very hard. It's been almost three days since your parting and I still can't believe you are not in this world anymore. SHINee was one of the KPOP groups that I love and hold dear, and you were my bias. I fell for you in Hello Baby. You were so happy and bright, you were literally shining. Who knew you were in such pain. I would have never noticed because you were smiling on. But you smiled for us. I just wished this incident was prevented. And it could have been if someone just did something. Only if more people came to your cries, only if people reached out, only if....I don't know what to say and this frustrates me because you could still be here if someone just gave you hope, even just a little. I don't know what or who to blame so I'm just blaming everything. I honestly don't know when I'm going to be okay. Your death just threw me off the cliff that I cried all day for days. I couldn't smile. I couldn't talk. I couldn't even look at other people. I couldn't focus on any of my finals. I couldn't go on social media without breaking down because you were everywhere. I would see memories of you, smiling, singing, happily talking, and dancing. But I wonder if you were happy at those times. I wonder what we did wrong because you did nothing wrong to us. It hurts me that you have been in pain for so long and I didn't know it. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you. I'm sorry I couldn't see the signs. I'm so sorry. It was hard for you. And I understand why you did it, and I'll support you. I'll support you for eternity. You gave us light, joy, and happiness. I love your singing. I love your dancing. I love your silliness. I love you. And I miss you. I miss you so much, so much that it feels like it's ripping my heart out. But, I will stay strong. I know you wouldn't want me to be sad forever. I'll smile tomorrow. I'll laugh. I'll look at my friends. I'll talk to them. I'll try not to break down. I'll remember the happiness you gave me. I'll remember that you are in a safe and happy place. I'll do it just for you. You will always be in my heart. Now I just want to tell you, you did well. For the past ten years, you did an amazing job. Thank you. You shined everywhere. I was always happy with your performance, they always make me go in "awe". Now you're set free from this cruel world. There is no pain inside you anymore. There is nothing that can touch you. You're flying now and you're still shining. Just watch over all of us and give us the strength to whatever comes in front of us. Until my time come, I'll see you later.
Love, Kathy
P.S. When I get up there, I better be greeted by you rocking the kazoo.

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.

I'm so glad you won the bid. I will start collecting karma points again.
Good work.

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.
