Liam Payne's sister Ruth Gibbons has paid tribute to the late singer on the six month anniversary of his death.
The former One Direction singer died following a fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina last October aged 31. Payne's death sent shockwaves right across the world of music, with a post mortem examination saying that he died of multiple traumas and "internal and external haemorrhage". More on this here.
Yesterday, Payne's sister Ruth Gibbons paid a moving tribute to the musician, marking exactly six months since his tragic passing.
"Six months, half a year without you?!", Gibbons wrote. "My head is still screaming for you. Each morning on waking, I feel like I am plunged underwater, gasping for air that never comes to relieve me".
"Living without you is impossible, so for now, I exist. I'm learning to laugh or smile in the right places, but mate, it's exhausting when all I want to do is speak to you".
Gibbons continued: "In the few moments I allow myself to feel love and not just loss, I can really smile at memories of us, like last year when we were doubled over laughing at us trying to make something we'd seen on YouTube, but memories are always tinged with sadness at how unfair it is we can't make new ones.
"I can sometimes hear you laughing at me walking around like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost, looking for you everywhere I go. I see you though, you're always coming through in different ways to put me back on the right path".
She added, "I can't process what's happened and the finality of it, you know I will never stop doing all I can for you".
"I miss you loudly, quietly and in all the moments in between. Love you so much more than these words or my tears are capable of expressing but I know you know this. For now, I'll meet you in my dreams".
Gibbons' post received a myriad of messages of support from fans of the late singer.
Last month, Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy admitted that she is struggling to come to terms with his death. More on this here.
