Kelsey Anderson Remembers Her Mom in Touching Post: ‘Happy Birthday Mommy’

In our thoughts. 

Bachelor Nation fans saw Kelsey Anderson find love and get engaged to Joey Graziadei on Season 28 of “The Bachelor.”

During her time on the show, Kelsey opened up about her late mother, who passed away in 2018 after being diagnosed with breast cancer that metastasized to her bones.

Kelsey has honored her mom many times online, remembering the beautiful memories they made together and even creating a special bracelet to commemorate her mom during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Now, she’s taken to TikTok to celebrate her mom’s birthday in a very touching post.  

Over videos of the last birthday she spent with her mom, Kelsey wrote, “My mom’s birthday is Christmas Eve. In 2017 she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. All her family came in for her birthday & Christmas that year in case it was the last one we had with her.” 

Kelsey continued, opening up about what she will always remember from that day with everyone gathered together. 

“It ended up being the last one we were able to celebrate with her. I will always remember her last birthday and how much love filled the room,” she said. “Today will be 7 years since her last birthday on earth. I like to remember the great times we had together, the laughter, the joy and all the love.”

Kelsey then ended her post with a gentle reminder for everyone during this time of year. 

She expressed, “A reminder for the holidays – spend time with your family, ask them stories, share stories, laugh and be patient. You never know how precious time is until it’s gone so enjoy all the moments big and small. Happy birthday Denise Ann Anderson.” 

Kelsey also captioned her video, “Happy birthday mommy I love and miss you so much.”

Joey showed support for his fiancée and commented on her post, “I love you so much. She’s always with you and I know she is so proud of you ❤️”
