Jonathan Remembered

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Brandis.

Today you would have been 37 years old. I still miss you, and I am still sad to think that you were so alone that you felt you had to leave this world. Oh, your 30s are so much better than your 20s. I know that I can’t sit here and just mope about what could have been. We can celebrate instead what was and what is.

My childhood and early teenaged years were so much better because of you. Jon, you touched my life and the lives of many other people around the world. And we, your fans, will never forget it. I don’t even have to be face to face with other fans of yours to feel the connection. We just get it. We know we had something special in our connection to you, and we lost it too soon. I wish I had words to explain exactly what that was like, and how it was so much deeper than you just being a cute boy on TV. But I don’t have the words, and I know they come too late.

Your thread is a part of the tapestry of my life, even though you’re not here. That thread will always be there, and it can never be undone. I love you, and I miss you. Happy Birthday.

   

I'm never bothered about Friday the 13th. 13 became one of my lucky numbers, because of you. Happy Birthday, Jon, wherever you are.

As you know, the original jonathanbrandis.org shut down a couple years ago. Well, earlier this year a new Jonathan site was launched to take its place. Unfortunately, many of the old members aren't in touch anymore and since it is run by a new owner, we have no way of telling them about the new site.

Please visit the new website at jonathan-brandis.org and be sure to join the forum. Also, if you know of any other Jonathan-related boards, please pass this link on....

Dear Jon,

Today you would have been 35. It's hard to believe you've been gone for eight years. I still miss you. I sometimes wonder if you could talk to today's young stars, what you would tell them. All of us, your fans, carry you around with us every day. You changed us all; I hope, hope, hope you at least knew that. And wherever you are now, I hope you are in a better, happy place, and that you finally know that you were never -- and never will be -- alone.

You would have been 35 today, just a little bit younger than my husband (I ended up marrying someone just about your age after all, haha). I'm 30 now and have accomplished a lot that I'm proud of. They say that your 30s are better than your 20s. I'll let you know what I find out.

Love,
Kimura

I'm so sorry about the recent Russian posts. Lately I've been getting Russian spam in my inbox, I'm wondering if maybe it's a new strange trend?

I was wondering why all the Russian entries?is this a Russian Jonathan Brandis page now?because then I will need to leave as I don't know how to read Russian.
