The famous pop star Ed Sheeran made a Maltby girl's dying wish come true.
Abigail Fleming passed away from cancer on the 3rd April but not before Sheeran had performed for the youngster at Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice. The pop star made a secret visit to the hospice to see Abigail after seeing her story in the Dinnington Guardian and receiving a video message from the 14-year-old.
Abigail’s parents Richard and Maria this week spoke of their ‘fantastic, loving and kind angel’ who put everyone else before herself.
Abigail wrote a wish list which included meeting and seeing Ed Sheeran perform and having a 16th birthday party, despite being 14, when she was told that her cancer was terminal.
“He didn’t just make her day, it made her life,” said Maria.
“It was his only day of. He flew in from Paris to London and then caught the train to Sheffield
"Abigail gave him a card and a key ring to say thank you.”
“He gave her a bracelet which somebody had given him for his 18th brithday.”
“He was a complete gentleman and she really loved it.”
Ed makes lego models after his gigs and has agreed to donate the proceeds of the sale of the models at auction to Bluebell Wood, as well as agreeing to become an ambassador for the North Anston-based charity.
Maria and Richard were full of praise for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, where Abigail spent the last few weeks of her life.
