This is by far the hardest blog we have ever written. If you follow us, then you know SHINee is our ultimate KPOP group.
This news was devastating for us.
However, we don't want to dwell on his death but,
instead . . .
CELEBRATE HIS LIFE!

When looking in the mirror,
we have to wonder . . .
Who did HE see?
Because,
We saw someone AMAZING!

The Chicago FanMeet:
The Stars were aligned on our behalf . . .
It was Mother's Day. There were five of us. (One fan to support each SHINee member). And, three of us were moms.
We were all together in the same city, close to Chicago. Had the money. Had the time. And, never thought in a million years we would ever have this opportunity. What U.S. KPOP fan EVER dreams of actually seeing their bias group LIVE, IN PERSON, hearing them sing, talk, (Dear God) breathing the same air!
Our seats were crappy, way off to the right, and it was hard to see. We panicked. Then, lo and behold the lights went down, the music went up, and one of our group managed to find us '5' seats directly in the middle of the auditorium, all together, where we could see perfectly!
It was a 'ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME' experience for all of us.

Jonghyun the 'TALKER'. We never imagined hearing his sweet voice, and cute smile when he talked could affect us all the way it did. He was the UB of one of our friends, and a favorite when they did the TV show
'One Fine Day'.
Always impeccably dressed, we often wondered if he was having a fling with his stylist. (Someone was taking good care of him.)

And, who could walk away not remembering his angelic singing voice? For my sister, it was a personal dream to hear him sing 'live'. The power, the range, the sheer magnitude of talent. He was absolutely ONE OF A KIND.
In his humbleness, he never realized how great he truly was . . .

Somewhere wayyyy in the back we were a part of this SHINee group photo. Screaming, yelling, waving our lite sticks like everyone else. Looking back, it gives us goosebumps to think we were actually 'physically' there!
Dallas Fanmeet:
What were the odds, one of us would have yet ANOTHER opportunity to see SHINee live?
This time it happened to be the half of our writing team (my sister) who lives in the Dallas area. With the help of a host of friends, she was able to acquire even better seats, closer to the middle, and even though the content was the same as in Chicago . . . her reaction was just as exciting.

This time, a game of Charades took her over the top. My sister snapped about 30 pictures of Jonghyun alone trying to play to the best of his ability. Smart and funny, how could you not adore him in such a happy, laid-back atmosphere!
Can you believe that in the Chicago fanmeet, a fan couldn't guess that his nick-name was Dinasour!!! Hahaha.

Yet again, part of the crowd. Another once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our Jonghyun with his pink hair and hat, STILL the most impeccably dressed. The best part of this photo . . . My sister was close enough to actually pick herself out of the crowd.
SHINee WORLD V
Was just a blessing from above. There is no other way to put it. Another opportunity that fell from the sky.
WHO GETS TO SEE SHINee THREE TIMES in only two years, and doesn't live in S.Korea or Japan?
Looking back, we feel like somehow we were being prepared for what was to come.
This time . . . we were (count them) 9 ROWS FROM THE FRONT!!!
OFFICIALLY . . . Living and Breathing SHINee AIR.

We were met this time by a dark-haired Jonghyun. Sassy, sexy, sure of himself. He commanded the stage with not only his voice but just his presence.
For us, the fan meet was a preview of what we would experience a year later. It was a beautiful sunny day in Texas, arriving at the venue early gave us the opportunity to meet other International fans, speak about our bias's and bond with other Shawols. We are so thankful Jonghyun and the other members shared a part of their world with us.
Now we talk about the 'what if's' when we look back on this special day. If we had only known what was going to happen in the future? Would anything have changed? Would we have listened more intently, watched closer, and not had bias tunnel-vision. But, we can't live questioning the 'what if's'. Or surely, we would drive ourselves crazy.
So, we share our own perspective of the day and what brought us so much joy, and love, knowing we belonged to a fandom that supports each other, not only in the good times but the bad, as well as the sad.

Jonghyun . . . This song is one of our personal favorites. We get chills, hearing you hit and hold a high note that (as far as we're concerned) no one else in the business could do as perfectly. We can listen over and over again, and never tire of hearing you. The sheer power behind your voice shows years of self-discipline, mixed with raw talent. So rare.
Deja-Boo is also one of our favorites. We love how your voice takes on a more sassy, flirty sound. Still another unique song to remember you by.
We will miss you Kim Jonghyun, and cherish the impact you left on those coming after you.
YOU DID WELL!

We have watched a lot of Jonghyun tribute video's in the last month. All were good but, we feel these two really touched our hearts. Please watch, and be sure to have tissues ready. We'd like to believe he is in heaven, doing what he loved the most in life:
SINGING . . .
