Madison De La Garza’s Message to Demi Lovato

It has been nearly a month since Demi Lovato was tragically rushed to the hospital due to a relapse overdose, but the pop-star’s strong support system still remains evident.

The singer released a statement via Instagram following the news of her hospitalization, regarding her long-time struggle with addiction. The statement attracted floods of support, not only from Lovato’s family and fans, but from fellow artists such as Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber, and the messages of love have not faded.

In honor of Lovato’s 26th birthday on August 20th, Demi’s younger half-sister, Madison De La Garza, went the extra mile to let her older sister know she is well-loved.

today could have been one of the worst days of my life, but instead i get to spend it thanking God, the incredible doctors, demi’s team, and everyone across the world who offered their support – without all of these people i wouldn’t have my big sister anymore. i’ve been thinking about how i wish that everyone could see the silly little things that she does, like how her nostrils move when she says certain words and when she brushes my hair behind my ear when i’m trying to sleep, because those are the things i’m thankful for today. they seem so small, but those little things make up my sister – not a singer, not a celebrity, and definitely not what she’s been described as in the media – she’s a daughter, a friend, and my big sister… and i am so, so thankful that i can tell her happy birthday. #happybirthdaydemi ❤️
