Dear Liam,
A full year. 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours…
Somehow it still doesn't feel real. I keep counting time, as if somehow the numbers will make it make sense... but they never do. You've been gone a year, and yet it still feels like you could show up back online at any moment, smile that soft smile, and make everything feel lighter again.
I miss you, Liam. God, I miss you. The world feels so different without you in it. Quieter. Colder. You had this rare warmth that made people feel safe. You made strangers feel seen, you made broken hearts feel a little less alone. And you never even realized how much you mattered. You always gave so much of yourself to others, even when you had nothing left to give.
There hasn't been a single day I haven't thought of you. I still talk about you, defend you, remind people of who you really were. The world got it wrong so many times, but we didn't. We saw you. The real you... the kind, gentle, funny, complicated, beautiful soul behind it all. I wish you could see how loved you still are. I wish you knew how deeply you're missed.
I hope you finally found peace. I hope the noise is gone now. I hope you’re surrounded by the calm you always deserved. You’ll always be part of me... your voice, your music, your light. You're still here in ways words can’t explain.
I'll love you for the rest of my life. Always and forever sweet Angel. 💜🪽
October 16, 2024. A date that has left a permanent wound in my heart that will never fully heal. The emptiness that this world has felt since you left is sometimes simply devastating. Hard to believe it’s been a year. We miss you, Liam. We miss you endlessly.
Rest in peace🕊️💔

My precious Liam,
Today marks one year. One year without you. And I still don’t understand how this is real. How is it possible that one year ago, I had to say goodbye to you? It feels like yesterday, and yet, it also feels like an eternity of nothing but grief. The world is so wrong without you in it. I thought maybe time would ease the ache, but instead, it only deepens. Every day, it’s like a slow drowning. And some days, it’s not even slow, it’s suffocating, all-consuming.
The world without you feels colder, emptier. I can still feel the sting of that day, the day you left. I remember the day we lost you so vividly it still doesn’t feel real. The way the world just… stopped. Like time shattered into pieces. The sky hasn’t been blue since. I swear it hasn’t. And if it has, I don’t see it. It’s just... silence. An aching, endless silence.
I’m angry, Liam. Angry that I couldn’t protect you, that I couldn’t save you from this cruel world. I hate that I couldn’t do more for you. I just want to scream and demand why it was you, of all people.
You, who only knew how to love, who only wanted love in return.
I want to punch the sky for taking you away from us. Why you? It’s not fair. You didn’t deserve this, not for a second. You were too good for this world, too pure for all the ugliness in it. You were a light, Liam. And now, it feels like that light was ripped away, and we’re left to wander in the darkness without you.
But I know you can hear me. I know you’re here, somewhere, watching. And I think about you every single day. Every hour.
You’re in everything. A song, a scent, a stranger’s laugh that sounds a little too much like yours. And sometimes I smile. But mostly, I break. And I’m so sorry if I annoy you by saying “I love you” over and over again. But I need you to know, I’ll never stop telling you. I’ll never stop talking to you. I’ll never stop holding on. Your spirit still lives in us. I can feel it. Even in the quietest moments, when it feels like the weight of this loss might crush me, I feel you. Sometimes, I’ll even yell at the sky, because I know you’re messing with me😂, sending me little funny signs to show that you’re still here. I’ll laugh, even though it hurts, because I know it’s you. You still have that sense of humor, even from wherever you are.
This time last year, I lay awake, wondering if you felt the cold earth when they placed you there. Wondering if you were scared, if you were alone. It haunted me. The thought of you alone, far from everyone who loved you. It was the worst kind of heartbreak. But I hope now, I hope you feel peace. I hope you’re surrounded by the kind of love you always gave. I pray you’re safe. No hate. No fear. Just pure, endless peace.
You’re free now, Liam. Free in every way that matters.
You touched so many lives. Your love rippled through the world in ways we will never fully understand. You saved people, changed them. You left behind a legacy that will never die, because it lives in every heart you touched. We’re carrying you with us, every single day, trying to be the people you would have wanted us to be. We’re sticking together, because you taught us how. And I will fight for you. I will protect your memory. I will never let anyone twist your name or the beautiful soul that you were.
You still are.❤️
What gets me through the hardest moments is that I know I will see you again. And when that time comes, I will give you the biggest hug ever. Until then, I will keep fighting for you, carrying your voice and your light with me.
I hope wherever you are, you’re surrounded by the love you always wanted to give.
I hope you have all the dinosaur plushies you could ever want, I prayed hard for that, you know? I told God if you had to go, please, at least let him have that.
I hope you never feel alone. I hope you know how deeply you are loved.
We love you, Liam. We will never forget you, not for a second. And we will carry you with us, always.
Until we meet again.❤️
With Love, From Your Fans — For Liam
We came from places far and wide,
Yet found one heart we stood beside.
Through every note, through every song,
You made us feel we all belonged.
Your smile could light the darkest days,
Your kindness shone in quiet ways.
You shared your soul, both strong and true—
The world felt softer, loving you.
We grew up with your voice in ours,
You turned our moments into stars.
Through joy and pain, through loss and cheer,
Your words still echo, crystal clear.
We’ll carry you where dreams still play,
In melodies that never fade away.
No stage or time can keep apart,
The love you left within each heart.
So here we stand, your endless crowd,
Still singing for you, strong and proud.
Forever grateful, hand in hand
With love, forever, from your fans.
