Amanda Kloots will never forget the last time she spoke to Nick Cordero.
"That moment really felt like an angel appeared in the room... [Cordero's mom] Leslie and I were sitting by Nick and we were just kind of waiting the day away," Kloots told ET."And in walks this nurse from nowhere. And he says that he was with Nick when they put him on the ventilator and he told me exactly what Nick had said. Leslie and I started crying and then he left and I never saw him again.
The last goodbye happened in July 2020, when she was told to come to the hospital as quickly as she could. "I looked at Nick as though it was my first time walking into his room... He was not Nick anymore. There had been a time that he was. For a long time, he was there, and you could tell that he was fighting," Kloots writes. "But in these last couple of weeks, that had slowly changed. He was going, and I saw it that day. There wasn’t anything left of him...If he survived, the best-case scenario was that Nick would be on a ventilator for the rest of his life, a life he didn’t want.
"There was no going back; I was going to lose him," she writes."I was crying so hard I couldn’t see, or breathe, or stand. Without my family around me, I think I would have had a full-on panic attack. I kept apologizing to Nick, telling him I was so sorry as I sobbed through mask after mask." "Nick couldn’t speak, but at this point I fully believed he was talking to us through the music. The songs were too poetic, too perfect to be random," she writes."This song truly embodies who Nick was, his spirit, and what he believed in. It was him thanking us for coming together for him, and for one another. I didn’t know how he was doing it, but I knew Nick was curating this music.
