I can't seem to get a grip on reality.

Speaking of you in past tense doesn't sit well...

I want to thank you for putting on a tough shell and fighting for what you believed in. Your smile never once stopped beaming light, proving your unique and unapologetic self had what it takes to be brave. Thank you for going the extra mile for those you loved. You were loved too.

Your words and actions weren't in vain. Young women in Korea will blossom into strong and open minded people inspired by who you were. Your footsteps will be followed in hopes of making changes in such a cold society. A law honoring your name was proposed to counter malicious comments. I'm sorry we didn't have it in time to save you.

You will be fondly remembered.

Have a safe journey, Ssul. I'll always love and miss you.
