“I was like, ‘Who is that person?’ I had never seen you so big, your energy was six times your body, it was amazing. I was blown away.”
Pink asks her daughter if she wants to do theatre professionally, to which she agreed.
“You have your own lane, and you want to be in it, and I love that for you,” Pink said.
“I will tell you that in this last recital, I saw a version of you that I didn’t know existed.”
The heartfelt video was captioned, “This weekend’s shows were Willow’s last few on tour before she takes time away to follow her dreams. I promised I wouldn’t cry,” Pink said.
“I DID NOT, however, promise I wouldn’t hyperventilate through our hug.
“It’s wild to watch your children grow up and out of you, but I’m beyond proud. We all are. I’m going to miss you so much.”
