#thankyouliampayne

I took this letter to a memorial but wanted to share here too.

"Thank you Liam so much for being in my life and shaping so many childhoods. Thank you for giving us love, support and encouragement through your and One Direction's music during the hard times and highlights of our lives.

You were a kind, generous and charitable person who encouraged so many to follow their dreams and be as kind as you were. You had the kind of smile that shone in your eyes, brighter than any star, and gave us so much comfort.

Thank you again so much for the music that helped me get through everything life threw my way.

I don't want to say 'goodbye' but instead see you later. Thank you for everything. You made me strong.

Rest in peace, My Angel

I can't say thank you enough, but truly thank you for everything Liam. I can't believe you're gone. I've lost count of how many days its been, but each morning I keep waking up expecting the news to change, but it doesn't 💔.

I keep saying each night "I'll see you tomorrow. Things will be different tomorrow.", just so I can sleep and have hope for tomorrow, but the news still doesn't change 💔. But one tomorrow, we all will see you again.

Songs I keep revisiting whenever I miss you tons is You're Beautiful by James Blunt and Drops of Jupiter by Train. I think they capture the type of person you were, beautiful inside and out. An angel. And at peace now. ❤️

Whenever I need reassurance, I'll look to the sky, because I know that's where you are now.

Rest well

i can't believe i just saw people mourning one of the members of the band of my life in front of my eyes. i look through my window and the world keeps going on, but you're not here anymore. and this is how it is, how it's going to be from now on.

i just can't believe you're gone, liam.

is with a heavy heart that i write this. is with a bittersweet feeling that i try to heal, because saying goodbye and accepting you're just not here anymore surrounded by people feeling the same while also knowing that you are immortalized forever (through music, and through us) feels both comforting and soul-crushing.

i spent more time of my life loving one direction than not loving them.

we put our hearts where we find happiness and i found happiness on one direction. one direction is the band that was with me through my worst moments. one direction gave me memories, smiles, friends (one of the most important things i have in my life), a love and the courage to start writing. one direction was always the beginning of everything.

one direction was the band of my life (as a child, a teen and now an adult) that shaped me as a person.

and i just keep fighting the fact that today, i have to say goodbye with my chest hurting in a way i had never thought it would.

but deep down, i know life goes on and i know goodbye is almost never true. i know, in this case, is see you soon. i know, this time, is i'm carrying you with me forever and i'll make sure to spread your name and legacy as much as i can, whatever generation comes next, no matter how much i have to talk about the happiness you brought me.

i love to believe in transcending. and i always loved to love you.

i know, as an adult, liam wasn't the perfect person. i know he wasn't the excellent example to follow we all thought he could be when we were 10. and that is fine, because, who's that? who's the perfect role model?

i know everything. i am conscious. but liam truly was my whole world ever since i saw him with those boys on those stairs. liam was one of the people that became the reason i survived more than once, so how am i not gonna cry when i lose someone i always hold more than close to my heart?

i can't lie and say i'm ready to accept everything, what happened, how it happened. i can't lie and say that i've come to terms with the fact that the days pass by and people start to talk about other things and it feels like everyone is further and further from what happened while i'm here with my chest empty. i can't lie and say i'm not kind of mad at the whole universe, as if it had played the most unbelievable and sick joke on all of us. i won't lie and say i don't hate that i'm doing this, that i'm sad and listening to your songs with a bad taste in my mouth. but today, i started to think a little more of that little girl that felt safe because of you. if you -and the boys- taught me and inspired me to be strong, am i really going to give up like this?

i intend to keep on honoring what you meant in my life.

rest in peace liam. wherever you are, i will pray for your soul to be at peace. if there's a way -i really, honestly, wish there is a way- i hope you know you were are loved. i hope you can see how much love the world is expressing for you. i hope i get to exist in the same lifetime as you a thousand times more. i look forward to exist together again.

thank you for allowing me to see you grow up.

thank you for allowing me to grow up by your side.

you are sealed and embedded in my soul. i can promise that much.

Liam didn't have the opportunity to find what to write in this two spaces of his hand tattoo. I choose to add this two things: always loved and fearless. I hope you know that Liam whenever you are, I will always love you and miss you.

Join to the memorial online for Liam here.

Liam, you’re one of the kindest human beings ever❤️I’ve always looked up to you! I’ve always admired how you look out for us. I’ve always wondered how you had the energy to check on us even when things weren’t okay for you. Thank you Liam for every single thing you’ve done for us❤️‍🩹I lost my uncle on the 9th of Oct,2020. I remember how down I was. I didn’t want to do anything. I wanted to give up. He was not close to me but his death shook me. I couldn’t imagine myself moving forward. But that day, you went live on insta. I still remember where I stood and watched your live. Your smile, the way you spoke, and the positive energy that you spread gave me new strength. I don’t exactly remember what you spoke but you being there saved me. You’re the one who saved me that night😭❤️Thank you so much Liam for that❤️I always dreamt of telling you this when I met you😭I hate that I can’t tell you anymore now💔It hurts so much because you saved me but I couldn’t💔But you know what Liam, I’ll hold you close to my heart forever. I’ll carry you wherever I go. I’ll share the love that you spread wherever I go now. We all will do that. You’ll live through us and your music forever❤️I miss you a lot every damn day😭I wish you were with us Liam and that fucking hurts😭But Liam, you’re always in our hearts❤️I love you so much Liam❤️I’m so proud of you, Liam🥺❤️Always and forever❤️

How can I forget someone who gave me so much to remember❤️

Online Celebration of Liam Payne

An anon here suggested "A day for Liam to celebrate Liam with edits, with gifs, with memories and videos or with reblogs of people’s favourite moments or just creating a note with something to say to him: “Liam, I’ll miss you forever 🕯️🌷” Some people won’t be able to go to the memorials and I think this is a way of honouring and mourn together." ... when would you like to see this happen?

I figured we could use #thankyouLiam and/or #thankyouLiamPayne?
