Ed Sheeran has reached out to a terminally ill mum whose son sings her Sheeran songs when she’s sad.
Kelly Dimmock, 39, was diagnosed with stage four terminal gallbladder cancer last month, and her son Chance has learned a number of Ed Sheeran songs to sing to her when she’s having a hard day.
Kelly, who is from Eastbourne but lives in Brecon, Wales, began filming Chance singing Perfect to her – and it looks like Ed has seen the videos, as he sent a message to Kelly while touring in Australia.
The 27-year-old filmed himself and said: ‘Hey Kelly, Ed here. I’m in Perth at the moment. I just heard your story, and I’m just sending you a message to say I’m wishing you lots of love, and I hope this makes you smile.’
Kelly said: ‘When I first got diagnosed last month I cried and cried. I felt like my whole world had been pulled from underneath me. Then Chance started singing me Ed Sheeran songs. We joked and I told him that maybe if he learnt the words to the song Perfect that Mummy’s friend Ed would come have a cup of tea with him.
‘Well since then, as soon as Chance thought I was sad or saw me cry, he sings it. He melts my heart, he is so beautiful and innocent and at just four-year’s-old doesn’t understand this awful horrible disease is going to take me away from him.
‘I couldn’t believe it when my husband woke me up the other day to say my messages to Ed Sheeran had got through and that Ed Sheeran had messaged me. Wow, I’m so, so happy. Thank you all for the love and support. Each and every one of you that have liked, shared and commented have helped make this happen.’
Kelly and her husband Dave, who sadly lost their nine-day-old baby in 2005, are hoping to renew their vows in the time they have left together, after initially getting married quickly and on a small budget 15 years ago.
A JustGiving page has been set up to fund the wedding, which has already exceeded its goal.
