Her song ended up going viral on TikTok, with people sharing their stories about losing loved ones to cancer.
“It’s so beautiful and wonderful and amazing,” she said of the love her song was receiving.

You all loved me and gave me my ‘one more moment of life,'” he wrote in I.instagram. “When I wrote ‘Wishing I Was You,’ I wrote those lyrics desperately wishing I had one more moment to shout from the rooftops and you all loved me so much and gave me that moment and I will be forever grateful. Whatever God brings my way I know I am loved.”
