Condolences go to Stephen Colbert because he lost his mother this past week, and to Demi Lovato, whose father just passed away. May they find the peace that only God gives and that the world cannot take away.
Stephen Colbert:
Lorna Colbert
It is so beautiful to hear the wonderful memories he has of his mother and their deep love toward one another. I loved his tribute to his mother on the show. It was probably the first time I saw my favorite comedian talking about things that were no laughing matter. This had no funny angle to it, but I saw him strengthened by his mother’s faith. He made sure we all knew–the show must go on.
Demi Lovato: I admire her strength as she deals with her estranged father’s death. A father who did not speak to her since 2007. Stay strong Demi. She is an artist whose pain from the relationship with her father has translated into her music and art. She is one of my favorite artists, and may God give her the strength to find more healing and remain unbroken.
Baby I just ran out of band-aids,
I don’t even know where to start;
‘Cause you can bandage the damage
You never really can fix a heart-Demi L.
