I hope you read this ππ€
I instantly went looking on YouTube to see if you had said anything about Liam because I just needed to try to find a place where people were feeling the way I was. I was absolutely devastated. Still am. And shocked about how i was feeling about it. I hated the way Liam was being portrayed from what was going on at that hotel. Like you, I came way late to the 1D party. I actually saw some of Harryβs songs (Late Night Talking and As it Was) and Niallβs song (This Town) on a season of The Voice a few years back which took me down the rabbit hole of 1D in a very powerful and magical way. Finding reaction videos like yours made me feel like I was not doing it all by myself. Started with Harry and then Niall and away I went. Watching San Siro was like a life changing event for me. Then watching you watch it was even better! You started the concert still a little skeptical and by the end you were a Directioner β€οΈ
I didnβt really stay current with new music because Iβm a classic rock, 80s rock kind of girl. I should say lady I am in my 50s.π. I of course, had heard some of their music before because I had girls growing up during that age, but most of the time they had headphones on.. I looked for any One Direction content I could findβ¦ I was totally moved by how talented this group was, and their harmonizing is in my opinion as good as if not better than the Eagles and Iβm a huge Eagles Fan. I loved how I could hear influences from the music that I grew up with and loved in their music.. the band and in solo music..Went Musk bought Twitter I deleted it but went on X to see if you had talked about Liam. Was so happy because I genuinely wanted to know how you were. Then I went on Patreon and was so relieved that I found a place that shared in my same grief. Then the election happened and we canβt even go there.. a few weeks ago My dog Miley who was 14 got very sick and we lost her and then I saw what you went through with your dog and it was fate. Not in a weird stalker way π³π Iβm so happy your fur baby is doing better. Saying goodbye to Miley and letting her go was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Iβm struggling with her being gone but watching your reaction videos, 1D music has helped me so much.
Itβs like grieving the fact that 1D will never get back together because I donβt see how they can do it without Liam. But seeing Louis at Zayns concert made me feel better that the boys were mending some old wounds. I was genuinely so worried about them and respected the fact that they did not want to grieve in public because I am sure that this has been beyond devastating for them. Thank you Steven for helping me through these very difficult times β€οΈ
Even if you never see this it was therapeutic for me to just write it π₯°

Thanks for you kind and personal comments on Liam. It took a while to be ready to watch this, but I'm so glad I have. Liam was a bright, sweet, kind man with so much talent and such a big heart. It's nice to remember how much joy he brought to our live, and will continue to, with his music that lives on.
Happy New Year, Steven! Thanks for sharing another hour of 1DDay with us and how sweet that we got to watch Liam. Missing him lots. Looking forward to the next hours of 1DDay!
