“I’m so thankful.”

Last month, Demi Lovato was rushed to hospital following a suspected drug overdose.

It was a close call for the songstress, but thankfully she pulled through.

And now, almost a month after her hospitalisation, Demi’s little sister has taken to social media.

Demi Lovato’s sister, Madison Lee De La Garza, celebrated Demi’s birthday yesterday.

Instead of sharing a picture of Demi’s gifts or her cake, she posted a sweet throwback of herself and Demi.

Along with the picture, Madison shared some heartbreaking words about how thankful she is.

today could have been one of the worst days of my life, but instead i get to spend it thanking God, the incredible doctors, demi's team, and everyone across the world who offered their support – without all of these people i wouldn't have my big sister anymore. i've been thinking about how i wish that everyone could see the silly little things that she does, like how her nostrils move when she says certain words and when she brushes my hair behind my ear when i'm trying to sleep, because those are the things i'm thankful for today. they seem so small, but those little things make up my sister – not a singer, not a celebrity, and definitely not what she's been described as in the media – she's a daughter, a friend, and my big sister… and i am so, so thankful that i can tell her happy birthday. #happybirthdaydemi ❤️

While another simply said: “This is very special.”

We hope Demi, and her family, are doing okay.
