I know I've been absent from Wattpad for a while. And I imagine since One Direction's break we've all been moving on with lots of lovely memories to hold dear: concerts (if we've attended or not), books, whole days committed to watching them do incredibly silly little games for our entertainment, and occasionally reading a fanfic. Since I've not heard about One Direction for some time, I had no idea about Johannah's battle with leukemia. I never knew her personally except as a mother to Louis. When I heard the news of her passing all of these lovely memories of waiting online to see pictures of her new twins or watching her watch Louis onstage and seeing the love in her eyes. She truly was a very generous woman and I hope that her family is well. Let's take a moment, as fanfic readers and writers, to appreciate the real Johannah Deakin. The one who raised Louis and encouraged him to follow his passions. As a women who reached out to other people much less fortunate and gave with her whole heart. #RIPJohannah Much love.
