Taylor Swift knows no bounds when it comes to loving her fans. The singer received a message on Mother’s Day through Tumblr from a fan who had recently lost her mother.
The fan, Kaileen, told Swift that “Today is Mother’s Day, a day most people spend with their mothers thanking them for everything they do. But, for me, I can’t spend this day with my mom because she’s in heaven. Last January, my mom passed away and a piece of my heart left with her.”
Kaileen goes onto say:
“My mom was my best friend, the one I laughed with, the one I cried with, and the one I loved with my whole heart. For a while, I felt empty. But as you’ve done many times before, you filled that hole. You took me out of my sad place and made me happy. And because of you, I got through something that was the hardest thing in the world for me.”
Kaileen notes that Mother’s Day is going to be hard but she has Swift’s music to help her get through it.
Naturally, Swift responded to Kaileen’s touching message by saying, “You’ve lived through my worst fear. I’m so sorry you can’t spend today with her. It’s not fair, and there’s no reason why you should feel okay about it. No one should ever expect you to feel normal today.” Swift referring to her announcement that her mother has been diagnosed with cancer.
Swift goes onto say that, “I admire and respect your ability to put forth such a sunny, sweet disposition when you’ve been through something so dark and tragic so recently. I never would’ve guessed by your attitude or your posts. I never would’ve known if you hadn’t told me.”
And closes her message with sending Kaileen a “huge hug” on Mother’s Day. In April Swift let her fans know that her own mother would be battling cancer, but has remained private since the initial announcement.
