Christina Grimmie continues to bring love and light to the world nearly two years after her tragic death. On Friday (just in time for Mother’s Day), the late singer's family released the song, Little Girl, which Christina wrote when she was 12 years old to comfort her mother, who was battling breast cancer at the time.
Little Girl is an original, never released song by Christina Grimmie that shares a moving story about the profound level of love and support that exists between mother and daughter.
“I am proud to share this extremely personal song with other mothers and daughters as well as Christina’s fans,” her mother, Tina Grimmie, told PEOPLE exclusively. “It is very special to me and carries a part of not only Christina but our unique bond. I miss her daily and I take comfort in knowing that this song might help other mothers and daughters through their fearful or tough times.”
The phrase “little girl” was used frequently by Tina to comfort Christina as a young girl when she was afraid. The irony of the song is that Christina speaks these words back to her mother at a critical and difficult time in her life, following her loss and current battle with cancer. This song was held personally by Tina (aka Mama Grimmie) because it was something special between her and Christina. Tina has decided to share this personal message to encourage mothers and daughters worldwide.
