Her Secret Dad
Celine often speaks of her mother in interviews, but rarely of her father. His name was Adhemar Dion and he passed away in 2001. She stated, “My dad was and is still my number one fan since I was a very little girl. I know that my dad would want me to be here tonight on stage with everyone I love, doing what we love.”
She Prepared her Kids for Death
Celine was faced with the huge challenge of preparing her children to understand and accept the news of their fathers passing. When reflecting she said, “I’m proud of the way I prepared my boys for their dad’s death. In life, you never know what’s going to happen, so you should never wait for tomorrow to do what can be done today, to say I love you, or send a thank-you note…The future is now.”
