Kelsey Parker’s Mother’s Day post was soul-stirring as she talked about being a single parent while referencing her deceased husband Tom in a tribute.
Kelsey Parker was on the happily ever after voyage with her beloved husband Tom. Sadly, on March 30, 2022, he died, after suffering long-battling brain cancer.
Since then she has been navigating life with their two kids alone. Still, Kelsey has remained committed to honoring her husband’s memories.
On March 7, Kelsey Parker marked a rare birthday. This was her first birthday without Tom since their marriage. Kelsey posted a throwback snap taken before his “The Wanted” tour.
The photo showed Kelsey planting a kiss on Tom’s face, while he was in a wheelchair. This sweet gesture was accompanied by a tear-jerking write-up signifying how much she misses him.
Kelsey talked about her husband’s desire to go on his final tour. She was happy he experienced the moment before dying.
Tom’s widow confessed she never sensed a looming tragedy that would mean her being alone on her birthday. In the end, Kelsey Parker’s tribute read:
“This Isn’t what we planned…but it’s where we are and we’re going with it, enjoying all we can and living the life we have.”

Kelsey Parker’s Mother’s Day Message After Tribute To Tom
Kelsey Parker’s Mother’s Day post was a carousel of happy moments between mother and kids. The first frame was a perfect photo of the trio in matching outfits.
Subsequent images proved Tom and Kelsey’s kids are doing great and they have a sweet relationship. The last snap centered on timeout with the ladies— Kelsey with fellow moms.
Amid the smiles and hearty laughter, the doting mom admitted that being a single parent has been tough. According to her writeup, the initial plan was for her and Tom to parent and grow old together.
While she has lost her special someone, life has gifted her with “special moms,” who look out for her. Together, they have built a great team, making the burden somewhat lighter.
In the end, she left fans with a window of hope. She wrote:
“I’m sending love today to anyone doing the job of mum and especially those doing it on their own. I see you. It may be tough but so are you.”
Putting up a brave front is the only way she can get by. Fans would know that Kelsey Parker’s tribute to Tom on Instagram is not the only time she has talked about missing her husband.
Last year, in an interview, she admitted feeling cheated following the tragedy. Apart from his presence, Kesley missed the arguments and how supportive he was with home chores.
