I will definitely miss her for quite some time, but health always comes first, and I sincerely do hope her surgery and treatments go well, then we can see healthy and even stronger than before Yukirin.
I hope is nothing major, and her health is OK after whatever procedure needs to be done. We all wish her the best!
This is my first post about this... when I first heard that Yukirin has a disease, honestly it shocked me, because it was so unexpected. I was surprised by the fact that she talked about it openly, because it's something very private. it takes a lot of courage to say it to everyone, and she was so positive the first time she talked about it, she is such a brave girl. I'm sure she feels scared and worried inside like anyone would, but she tried her best to stay positive, probably not to worry her fans, and also for herself ;_; I expected that she would take a hiatus eventually and I'm glad that she did, I'm glad that she will focus on her health and I hope that she takes all the time necessary to get better and to recover, we will always wait for her Her last tweet before hiatus: For the treatment of the illness, Twitter will be on pause for a while! There is hospitalization for the first surgery, rehabilitation etc. To be honest, I feel so worried to the point that I want to cry, I repeat to myself everyday "I want to heal quickly, but it's scary..." Then I think about how everyone is always giving me their support I will overcome it ☺️ Please wait for me!! it makes me sad to think that Yukirin is scared and wants to cry T_T I hope she knows that we are always here for her and we will wait Be strong Yukirin... I will pray for her surgery to go well ;_; (Don't hesitate to reply to her tweet with a nice/supportive message)
