so..
yesterday I found out that my friend’s mom passed away from Cancer..
She had been sick for a long time - so her passing wasn’t a shock - but it’s definitely not easy.
I have been friends with my friend for about 6 or 7 years now, and her mom was such a wonderful person. I’ve spent so many nights at her house and she always treated me like I was an adopted child. I’ve had so many awesome memories and it hurts knowing that she’ll no longer be around.
I’m struggling because I wanted to go visit her in Hospice, but I was too scared. I still have bad memories of watching someone die in hospice care from when my grandfather passed in December. I know it was selfish, but I was scared and wasn’t ready to go visit her. I wanted to, so badly, but I couldn’t find the courage or strength.. and now it’s too late. I’m stuck with this horrible feeling of regret. I feel like I should have been there, but wasn’t. I know my friend isn’t mad and I’m sure her mom wasn’t either — but I FEEL BAD.
Anyways, yesterday I tweeted Colton telling him about my friend’s mom and asked for some prayers.. and he replied with this:

Granted, I think he thought I said my mom, but I did not.
I’ve let him know in a few different tweets that it was my friend’s mother and not mine.
EITHER WAY — it still means so much to me that he tweeted and said that.
I need people to pray for my friend Katie, and her family. I can’t even begin to imagine how she is feeling right now. I could also use some prayers — just to help with healing. The pain of losing my friend’s mom is hard enough, but I need to get rid of this regret and anger I feel.
But honestly. I am super grateful for Colton. He is such a sweet, genuine guy that truly cares about his fans. I only tweeted him twice about it & my friend sent a tweet or two — but that’s it. I didn’t spam his mentions. I’m surprised he even saw my tweet let alone reply with this.
Sorry for the long post — but prayers are requested for Katie and her entire family — as well as some for myself. thanks all!
