The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖 @dollyparton
i feel parasocial right now but hayden’s death has me feeling many emotions. she was getting her life back together, she was doing better & had so much to live for, its just so heartbreaking that shes gone. i hope she knows how much she impacted people’s lives, how loved she was.
Hayden’s Dedication in her recent memoir:
“Grateful for every hand that lifted me, every obstacle that strengthened me, and every lesson that lead me here.”
