'When you're ready, sing again': Dad of 3 sends sweet message to Ariana Grande
'When you're ready, sing again': Dad of 3 sends sweet message to Ariana Grande, In the wake of the suicide bombing on Monday that killed 22 people following her concert in England, a devastated Ariana Grande tweeted that she was "broken" and "so sorry" for the tragedy.
A father of three girls and a self-professed Grande fan from Georgia has responded with a heartfelt and uplifting open letter to the 23-year-old pop star, saying she doesn't have "a dadgum thing to apologize for."
Calling himself "a fat dude in Georgia who loves his daughters," film producer Patrick Millsaps urged Grande to "take care of you first" and to sing again when she is good and ready because her music is a "God-given gift."
"After reading a tweet you posted on Twitter the other night, I'm afraid I need to set you straight girl,'' he wrote. "So listen up and receive some redneck love from a daddy of daughters.
"You see, you are no more responsible for the actions of an insane coward who committed an evil act in your proximity than you would be for a devastating natural disaster or acts of morons near your hotel. Your text was some stinkin' thinkin' in that regard.
"When and only when you are ready, on behalf of all dads who love your...um...whose daughters' love your music, SING AGAIN."

Millaps, whose daughters are 13, 12 and 12, called Grande "a part of our family" and joked how he often keeps listening to her music even after he drops his girls off at school.
"Every time you open your mouth and share that incredible God-given gift to the world, you make this crappy world a little less crappy,'' he wrote. "Take care of you first. Your fans aren't going anywhere."
