Who is rockstar ronan

We do a fashion show, and all of our little models are kids that are currently going through treatment for cancer. It's a great event, and the kids have the best day ever. We're trying to turn all of social media gold this month. How did Taylor first get involved? Somebody from her team reached out when she was coming to Phoenix for her Speak Now tour and said Taylor wanted to meet me.

I had no idea that she knew who Ronan was. I went to Taylor's concert, was waiting in the back room, and I had this whole letter written out to her, with pictures of Ronan in it, because I wanted to share his story with her. Then it turns out she already knew all about him. She came into the room, and—just, tears pouring down her cheeks—and said that she had been following our blog for so long and was so heartbroken over Ronan. Her exact words were that she "had never seen a love story as beautiful as the one between a son and a mother.

What has your relationship been like since? It's been very organic, which I love, because it's just like the stars aligned. Nothing's been forced by me or by anybody. It's just Taylor taking the lead, because it means something to her. That's one of my favorite parts about this whole thing. That means forever. Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create.

And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make. I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August I had so many sleepless nights during the next few months.

I wondered what would happen to you. I vented on my social media accounts about the unfairness of it all, not knowing if anyone was listening to what I was saying. There started to be chatter on the internet of Taylor re-recording all her old albums so she could own her OWN music again, which was such a bloody smart move. Taylor soon confirmed she was going to do so. In my mind, there was no way she was going to re-record it, and I understood why.

Knowing that Taylor had taken the most horrific situation and had found a way to get her art back made my wounds hurt less. I was just thankful she had done the most incredible thing for us in the first place. That was more than enough. It was always going to be more than enough, and I had let go of wishing it could be any other way.

Red was an album of heartbreak and healing, of rage and rawness, of tragedy and trauma, and of the loss of an imagined future alongside someone. I wrote Ronan while I was making Red and discovered your story as you so honestly and devastatingly told it. It took me an hour to absorb the words in front of me. I shared the news with your brothers, Poppy, your daddy, Mr. Sparkly eyes, and a couple of my dearest friends.

I cried while sharing the news. I called Tree back and spoke to her for a few minutes about what had just occurred. I tried my best to articulate how much this meant to me through my tears, but there are not enough words in the English language that will ever be able to appropriately convey my feelings about this. Taylor has anchored you to this world so you will never be lost, and now she has ensured you will forever be safe in a new, permanent home.

She is once again giving a voice to the often voiceless, bereaved parents of the world as well as childhood cancer which deserves so much more funding than it gets. It is the most perfect album for you to be on as it represents so much heartbreak, love, and pain.

My words of thank you will never be enough. Thank you for keeping Ronan safe. Thank you for never forgetting him. Thank you for breaking rules and breaking free. Thank you for that heart of yours that is made of pure gold.

You are a constant source of inspiration to me in so many areas of my life, and there is nobody in the world I would rather have Ronan with than you. Happy 18th birthday to my firstborn twin! My baby A. My LiLi. My gentle giant. You were the easiest, sweetest baby who has turned into the kindest young man. I am forever in awe of the intelligence inside your head and the tenderness of your heart. You were so devastated, so I took you outside, and we had a long talk.

You took that life lesson of not making the JV team, and you let it light a fire within you to work harder. You became not only the hardest working player on that court but the smartest player out there. You know that game like the back of your hand, and I love seeing how passionate you are about it.

It has been an honor to watch you claw and fight your way to the top, as you could have easily given up. Your determination is a testament to who you are. Underdogs are the ones who go on to change the world in the most impactful ways, and I have no doubt you are going to go on and do incredible things in your life. Happy Birthday, baby boy.

You are the love of my love, and I love you forever and always. Happy 18th birthday to my second twin. You arrived ten minutes after Liam and surprised us all with how different you looked from him. For being twins, you two could not be any more different, and that has made this life so much fun. You have kept me on my toes from the beginning with the way you push boundaries and challenge everything with your endless questions and inquisitive mind.

Your quick wit and ability to always have us all laughing is such a light in our lives which we so very much needed after the heaviness of not having our Ronan here. On my worst days, I would find you by my side, cuddled up next to me, entangled in our sloppy tears together. On my best days, you are still by my side, smiling your beautiful smile and still wanting to hold my hand.

You are kind, intelligent, and brave. You are constantly searching for adventure and seeking out the ways of the world to help you evolve and grow. I am in awe every day of who you are and who you are becoming, and I also won the lottery in life by having you as my son.

Wear purple. Be brave. Do a random act of kindness. Laugh louder. Hug harder. Kiss longer. Explore nature. Have an adventure for him.

Sprinkle his magic wherever you can. I would have done anything to save you. You left me behind, and on most days, I am ok. I have learned to carry this grief and carry it well. And on the days where I cannot, like yesterday, I give in to this pain. I let myself weep for your touch, your voice, your mischievous laugh, and your smothering kisses.

I just let them take him away from me. I should have gone with you. To wherever they were taking you. It is essential to my healing that I allow myself to go to the darkest places.

I learned long ago not to fear the darkness of this. For as much as this pain hurts, I know I must allow myself to feel it as rawly as I can. Ronan has a major surgery to remove the orbital tumor behind his eye.

Surgery is followed up with 5 rounds of chemotherapy at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Ronan continued with radiation and high dose chemotherapy in NYC. Ronan's parents refuse to give up. The doctors advised taking him home to enjoy his remaining time. The Thompson's search for anything to save Ronan. Giselle Sholler agrees to accept Ronan in her Nifurtimox trial, but Ronan's little body continues to decline. His family did everything they could to keep him comfortable.

Surrounded by his Mama, Dad, and big brothers, Ronan let go and stopped fighting. Maya made a promise to Ronan to continue to fight for him until people start listening, survival rates improve, and one day, a cure is found. Maya refuses to stop fighting for Ronan and all other children fighting cancer. Maya believes every child deserves a chance to grow up.

She launches The Ronan Foundation, dedicated to funding clinical trials to create more effective treatments and ultimately to find a cure for childhood cancer. Woody becomes the President of the foundation and together Maya and Woody fight cancer for kids through funding innovative research so no family nor child endures what they did.
