USA Jonghyun Vigils #JonghyunYouDidWell
Shawols came out in droves all across the US during the weeks following Dec. 18th to show our love for Jonghyun via candlelight vigils – a tradition where candles are lit to remember a lost loved one. It was a difficult time for many of us, but the comfort and support found for Shawols at each vigil was amazing to see. I’m sure Jonghyun was there with us each night – whether you were at a large vigil or an individual one at home, I’m sure he heard our prayers.
Jonghyun you did well. We’ll miss you and carry you with us always. Until we meet again on the other side, please continue lighting up our lives with your aqua light. Love you forever.
The admins of other groups we coordinate with as well as the admins we have on our own staff come from widely across the US – so far in fact that we only get to see each other at SHINee events. It warms my heart to scroll through these images and know how many friends attended these vigils. Although we couldn’t hold each other in person, our hearts are one. Thank you to everyone who organized and attended these vigils to remember and honor our Jonghyunnie.

The first night I was unable to go but I was able to attend last night's vigil. To those who attended the vigils, not just Las Vegas' but the ones around the world, i hope you were able to express your feelings and find consolation with everyone.
You did well, Jonghyun. pic.twitter.com/lUILKaCO9I

Last night's vigil turned out beautifully. I decided to hold it by his zodiac sign to honor the year he was born as we grieved, paid respect and honored his memories. Thank you all for coming. It meant the world to me, and I'm sure Jonghyun was watching over us with a smile! โค pic.twitter.com/nAfIFCWYEj
