Kelsey Parker's touching wish for late husband Tom as death anniversary nears
Kelsey Parker shared a heartbreaking wish as she remembered her late husband Tom Parker online today.
The mum-of-two, who shared young children Aurelia and Bodhi with The Wanted singer, admitted the start of March is always a tough month for her, as the anniversary of her husband's death creeps closer. Writing on Instagram this morning, Kelsey said of Tom: "I know he is watching over me and the kids every day, but his physical absence from our lives is so huge."
Tom tragically passed away at the age of 33 from brain cancer on 30th March 2022. The Bolton born singer had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour called glioblastoma multiforme two years before his death. As his death anniversary nears, his widow Kelsey has been paying tribute to his legacy.
Sharing a video of Tom playing with his two children, Kelsey - who split from electrician Sean Boggans in December - told her 420,000 Instagram followers: "Today is the first day of March and it brings with it the painful reminder that this is the month I lost Tom. I still can’t quite believe it is almost two years since he passed.
"I know he is watching over me and the kids every day, but his physical absence from our lives is so huge. I miss his banter and his laugh so much. I’d do anything to have one more day with him. I think about him every single day, and I think March will always be a difficult month."

This month marks two years since The Wanted singer passed away at the age of 33 (being_kelsey/Instagram)Earlier this year, Kelsey opened up about her heartbreaking decision to remove her wedding ring. Writing on Instagram, the mum-of-two told fans: "Hi everyone, hope you have had a lovely Sunday. I wanted to share something with you all this evening. It's something I've been thinking long and hard about for a while now, and as we end the first week of a new year, I have decided to take off my rings."
"It felt really painful every time I looked at them and I have been torturing myself over when will be the right time. I know now there will never be a right or wrong time, but there does have to come a point in my life when I remove them. Of course I'll always be Tom's, he'll always be in my heart and I know I will forever be in his, but right now, in this world I'm not married anymore as much as that breaks my heart to admit.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. One day I'd love for Rae to have them, but right now I want to do something special with them. I'm not ready to totally let go of them. I've thought about wearing them around my neck or framing them and putting them in the space I create with Tom's music stuff. Does anyone else have any other ideas or thoughts on this?"
Kelsey continued: "Sometimes I wonder if I've left them on too long and other times I think I just expected to wear them forever. How do I protect and honour my marriage to Tom while not living in the past? ! Anyway, I'm going on here, but it is something I wanted to share with you all as you give me so much love and support. Please do send me any ideas you have of what I could do with my rings, and no hate please! I want 2024 to be a positive year and I have no space for negative energy or comments. Love and light xxx"
