Sorry I've been gone from here so long, I've been really unwell.
Today, however, I felt well enough to shower and wash my hair.

Her mother also said: "Grace's time with us is almost over," wrote her mother more than three weeks ago.
“She spent most of the day sleeping and uttered almost nothing.
We mostly get grunts in response to our questions.
I used a moment of wakefulness and told her what everyone at # singforgrace2020 is doing. "
Because under the hashtag and on the appropriate Instagram page, many others have tried to donate Grace with the strength that she loved so much: music.
They recorded songs from their favorite artists.
A wonderful action with such a sad background.

The then 13-year-old had a
lot of sympathy
at
"The Voice Kids"
2017 and got jurors like
Nena
,
Sasha
and
Mark Forster
to standing ovations.
Unfortunately, her health no longer allowed her to pursue a career as a singer.
Since then, many people have taken an interest in her sad fate at a young age.
ESC candidate
Michael Schulte
also took part in the # singforgrace2020 campaign (see above).
How brave Grace Mertens was is also shown by the fact that she helped plan her own funeral. "Grace's funeral will be a celebration of her life," her mother told the
picture in
mid-October
. She will be bright and full of love, just like Grace. She has always loved pink and everything that sparkles, so she will get a pink glittery coffin. My mother sews a special dress that she can wear - from my pink wedding dress. ”Many people will be there in their thoughts and mourn the fighter.
