Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely

I find it hard to start today's "rambling" because, as many of you will agree, I think, the video for this song is something very special. Something very personal and beautiful, and sad. So what words can you find to comment on it?!
This here won't be me writing a review of the video, but rather...an open letter (to whoever is reading this), in which I want to thank them - Brian, Kevin, Howie, AJ and Nick.

Some of you, who have read my story "Close Encounters...Of Another Kind", may know that my mom has died when I was only 17. That part of the story unfortunately isn't fictional.
The Boys have helped me a lot to get through my pain and to accept, what no one can change. Not only has their music helped me - by letting me escape into peacefulness and beauty, or even by confronting me with my pain. But also knowing that they have gone through similar heartbreak and sorrow and seeing that they learned how to go on has given me strength to go on as well.

For a while I hadn't been able to talk about my pain, I haven't been able to talk about my mom without breaking out into tears. There isn't really anything you can say, when the person you love most is taken away from you.
So I know exactly how hard it is to open up about this kind of loss, I know how much it hurts and that's why I wish the Boys would know how much I love them for sharing this latest video of theirs with us.
Never before have I seen a music video that is this personal, a video that goes so deep. It's kinda a pity that only us fans (and their family and friends, of course) understand how much it really means. But on the other hand it's good like that.
The Boys have once again showed us that they really consider us a great part of their lives. That they even consider us friends, in a way. They not only share their lives with us - no, now they even shared some of their greatest pain with us and let us take a look into the most private part of them.
What Brian and Howie shared with us we have already been part of, because the Boys' career has been in full swing when Brian had had his surgery and when Howie lost his sister Caroline. Also we have been with them, when they lost their friend Denniz Pop.
That's why I especially want to thank Kevin for opening up to us like he does in the "Show Me The Meaning..." video. We all knew before that his father died years ago, but only know has he really shared that with us. So... "Thank you, Kevin. I know what you lost, and I'm sorry!"
Of course my love goes out to the other Boys as well. Thank you for EVERYTHING.

PS: I can't pass up the chance to say this also: "Brian, I will always love you for writing 'The Perfect Fan'! No other song speaks from my heart the way this one does, and no song has touched me more. Thank you, B.!"

FLY
(written by Jean-Jacques Goldman & Phil Galdston;
performed by Celine Dion)

Fly, fly, little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly, precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly, do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly, little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
