A Dad of 3 Ariana Grande fans has written an open letter which is going viral, setting her straight.

News of the horrific bombing which took place Monday night at an Ariana Grande concert shocked the world far beyond Manchester, where the tragedy took place.

The devastating aftermath of the attack– which left 22 dead and 119 injured– has broken hearts around the world; including the heart of 23-year-old pop star Ariana Grande, who was unharmed.

Since the attack, Ariana has avoided social media and the spotlight. She’s only posted one, heartfelt message on Twitter, conveying her sadness and condolences:

broken.
from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.

When Patrick Millsaps, a film producer and father of three girls, saw Ariana’s tweet, he was touched by the message but also compelled to write back.

Patrick posted his open letter to Ariana Grande on Twitter. The powerful message has since gone viral. Check it out below:

“Dear Miss Grande,

“I am the father of three daughters — ages 13, 12 & 12. So, you have been a part of our family for years. On occasion, your songs may have stayed on the radio AFTER I have dropped the girls off at school. I will neither confirm nor deny that I have personally seen every episode of ‘Sam & Kat‘.”

“Since you are a part of our family and after reading a tweet you posted on the Twitter the other night; I’m afraid I need to set you straight girl. So listen up and receive some redneck love from a daddy of daughters.”

“You don’t have a dadgum thing to apologise for. If some jackass had gotten drunk and killed someone with his car next to your hotel in Manchester, would you feel responsible? …. 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.”

“In your line of work, you have so many experts who are now ‘strategising’ what you should do next … these ‘experts’ don’t have a freaking clue what you are processing right now. Spend time with your God, your family and your friends who will give you space and support when you need it.”

“When and only when you are ready … SING AGAIN. Music is the international language of peace. 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.”

“So there you go my dear, unsolicited advice from a fat dude in Georgia who loves his daughters and appreciates that there are people like you in the world. Take care of you first. Your fans aren’t going anywhere.”
