JPHiP's 20,000th thread is dedicated to my special little friend:
Just seems like yesterday don't it. Four years ago today on
April 26, DAT Homegirl ChrNo passed away. With The Berryz Fangirling, With The
emoticons creation, With The Berry Punny Posts, With The Fanfics Reppin, With The STRAIGHT REALEST Definition of Being An Awesome HiPster. ChrNo's loss continues to leave us with a huge hole in our heart, as we carry on her legacy in everything we do. We are so proud to have her as a member of The FAM and Friend to all.
We knew she had issues, and that she spent times in the hospital. What hurts the most, is that we were so helpless to help her. For a community of 10 years, losing four equally amazing HiPstaz in marimari, Jabronisaur, ChrNo and Fushigidane - seems shocking. But we a tight knit group and these get magnified. Without these HiPstaz and HiPstaz like YOU, we are not where we are today.
That is why I plead to you -
do not hold back, speak out on your experiences with Mental Health issues and it will help others deal:
http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=35514.0Looking back though, being there for her - giving her an outlet to channel her creative energy was the best we could do. To be bestowed upon her beautiful artwork and funny posts, her enthusiastic singing and drawing the iconic
- we are truly blessed.
