Dolly Parton has been our "baby blanket" during these long, trying days. She has provided us with humor, comfort, humanity and love through her social media posts, and through her actions.

It has been clear, what the world needs now is Dolly, sweet Dolly.

Dolly's $1 million dollar gift to Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center aided in the development of Modern's coronavirus vaccine.

Parton's posts have given us inspiration, and had us all admiring the person she is.

And today, this always humble and kind human being, asked her home state to hold off on their plans to honor her, in light of "all that is going on in the world."

Thank you for being... Dolly
