    Additional fun fact about this song: Taylor made the mom a co-songwriter on this song so that she will always get royalties from it.

    Ronan passed in 2011. His Mother, Maya, wrote a blog and this is where Taylor got much of the imagery. After writing it, she held into it for a while and reached out to Maya inquiring if she would be comfortable adding it on Red when it was released. Maya agreed, Taylor gave her co-writing credit. Snd all profits from the song go to fighting cancer. ❤ Beautiful Ronan lives on forever in this amazing song and in our hearts.

    Thanks for the honest reaction. Taylor performed this live on a cancer fundraiser concert. She got through it, 'cause that's the professional she is, but you could tell how hard it was. Such a heart wrenching song. It kills me every time.

      While she made it through her performance on the stage, she broke down as she was leaving the telethon. There are photos of her leaving in tears with her mother. This song is so heart wrenching.

      @@gdhaney136 Yes, she has. She even gave Ronan's mom writing credits I believe since some of the lyrics were taken from her social media stories about Ronan's journey. So sad that such a beautiful little boy is gone much too soon.😢

    This song is so.beautiful, raw, and an amazing gif that Taylor gave Ronan’s family and loved ones. She used words from Ronan’s blog and gave his mom cowritten royalties and donations for those kids like Ronan.
    Taylor has done many, many things for those around her, around us, around the world but, more than any others, this is the song that made me fall in love with her beautiful heart and giving spirit. Taylor is my favorite celebrity of any others, in any medium.
    I honestly have NO IDEA how she was able to put this together and sing it without being a pool of tears on the ground. 💔😭💔🙏❤️❤️❤️
    The live version she did at the broadcasted cancer fundraiser was after she wrote this and also when her mom had been diagnosed with cancer as well. She never sings this one live because it’s so draining on her heart and mind.

She said that Ronan never lost his smile, even on the last day. Taylor put Ronan's mom down as co-writer. She used the proceeds to set up and fund the foundation.
