Fighting back tears, Vanessa performed so as not to let her fans down, and dedicated her performance to her dad. Do you admire her dedication?
Wonderful tribute to her dad, and very brave of her to perform in light of all this

Several years ago, my cousin married her husband hours after hearing that her beloved grandmother had just passed away. The family discussed postponing the wedding but decided that her grandmother would have wanted everything to go on as planned. Has your family ever had to make a decision along these lines, and what did you do? Yes, something similar, and we continued with the plans
