Johannah Deakin, mother of Louis Tomlinson, sadly passed away from Leukemia at the age of 43 on December 9th, 2016. The tragic news came as a surprise, since the Tomlinson/Deakin family chose to keep Johannah’s diagnosis private. Throughout this sad time, many have expressed their condolences to the family.

In honor of Johannah’s passing, Louis collaborated with Steve Aoki to create a song for her called “Just Hold On,” which reached the #1 position on the iTunes Dance charts. It also debuted at #2 on the iTunes’ Top Songs chart, just behind Zayn and Taylor Swift’s collaboration of “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.”

Just days after her death, Louis performed “Just Hold On” on The X Factor UK in remembrance of his mother, to which he gave an emotional performance that moved everyone watching in the audience and at home.

Simon Cowell told Louis, "I've known you now for six years [and] what you've just done, and the bravery, I respect you as an artist, I respect you as a person.” He continued, "Your mum was so proud of you, Louis, and she was so looking forward to tonight. She's looking down on you now. She's so proud."

Louis tweeted, “That was harder than I ever imagined. I want to thank everyone around me and all of the amazing fans out there that made that so special!” Then sent another tweet, “Feeling so much love around me and my family. Mum would have been so f***ing proud ( sorry for swearing mum ) love you !”

We are so sorry for the loss that the Tomlinson/Deakin family is experiencing. Johannah has touched so many lives, and her memory will live on forever through her seven children.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
