Billy Ray Cyrus shared a handwritten letter Dolly Parton sent him shortly after they met in Chicago in 1992, calling it one of his most treasured possessions. In the note, Parton praised the then-rising singer, wished him success and warmly offered her support. Cyrus said he had kept the letter beside one from Johnny Cash and reflected on his decades-long friendship with Parton, who became godmother to his daughter Miley. The pair later collaborated on music and television projects, including “Romeo” and Hannah Montana, and their final song together was “Christmas Where We Are.” Cyrus shared the letter about a month after Parton’s death, saying it felt like the right time to make it public.
