it's fine, i'm hanging on to the belief that one day i'll create my own family with friends and with children of my own

My father.

My family fell apart after his death. As a result, i barely see my family ( father’s side) since i was 12 (i’m 22 now).

Its my aunt. She passed away very quickly on Friday. She was only 52  she went to bed on Thursday and never woke up again. 

everyone in my family is still shocked because she used to be very happy and funny and was always smiling. I just hope she is in a better place now.

i didn’t really understand the meaning of the song Joanne or what was Gaga talking about at jwt. But now I know and it breaks my heart

My grandma passed away in 2011 and my grandpa literally weeks before Joanne was released

My dad is my 'Joanne'. We lost him when I was 8 and since then he's been missed everyday. My uncle even wrote a song about him so it is kinda like Joanne. Angel Down just makes me sad because it reminds me of my dad.

Hey everyone,

I feel like every family has that one person who is important to the rest of the family and cannot be missed. Ever since my grandfather died two years ago, I feel like my family hasn't been the same and that's why my grandfather is my 'Joanne'. He always was like a hero and an inspiration to me and he died way to soon . I was wondering if you have someone in your family like that, too. So who is your Joanne?

Btw this is a song I have written right after my grandfather died. It was a way to express my emotions. My 'Joanne' song. 

 

 

Sorry for your loss.

My grandmother died when my mother was around 14 years old. I always felt like my grandmother is the Joanne in my life. I wish I met the remarkable woman who raised my beautiful mother to become one of the strongest people I know.

I have many aunts but one of them can ALWAYS make everybody laugh. She's entertainment pure and everyone talks about her all the time. She's truly a gift that keeps on giving

My Joanne is my second older brother but never made it while my mother's giving birth to him. I just wish he lived because you know, he could be that best friend of mine that I'd always talk to, and our age aren't that long to each other. I just wished he would've lived because he deserved that life that I'm wasting right now. He was unnamed. I know I never met him, but Gaga never met Joanne either.

My family’s Joanne would be a young cousin of mine. He died when he was just five or six. I was super young so i can’t really remember that much about him. 

I actually had a young lady relative of mine who died of Lupus but my family just don’t talk about her. I think it’s too hurtful for them (again I was like a baby when she passed away)

Why? I don't know you, but you're amazing in your own way

It will never be the same, but it will get better. It did with me and my family. It will be okay as long as you don't forget her

I'm just not as well organised, grounded as her and can't shrug off problems like her. But last year I learned I have ADD so at least now I know *why* my life has been so messy.

So I'm getting there. One less mess at a time.

My uncle Giovanni, my mom's brother. And no, I'm not kidding...

He died when I was one and he's been a sort of guardian angel in my family ever since. I don't really know much about him because after the funeral my family split. I don't even know my aunt and cousin, we don't talk anymore. And I say "we" as if this whole thing had anything to do with me.

We,as gay people, get to choose our family.

My mother, she died from cancer 10 years ago when I was 11. My family (specially my father) has never been the same since that. He's a tough man, he's my sinner's prayer.

When I listen to gaga's music, it sometimes takes me back to that deep lonelyness feeling and makes me heal. I feel like my mother and my grandfather (who also died young when my mother was 3) are my guardian angels.

Also I've always had felt that connection with my grandpa. I have his name and he was an artist, who had a lot of talent and died at his 30's. I never knew him, but some of my family says that we look alike and have the same gestures and way of speaking.

Everytime I miss my mom, I play gaga's songs I remember about her. She was ""italian"" too and they look alike with that italian nose and that raspy speaking voice. 

Xoxo, Joanne, thank you Stefani.♥

I realize that I am very fortunate and lucky that my family is so accepting towards me being gay...
