Sister Wives’Meri Brownis remembering her mother.
The reality star shared her feelings onInstagramMonday, a day afterthe latest episodeof the TLC reality show chronicled the dayBonnie Ahlstromdied.
“This week’s episode documented the day my sweet mom passed away last year,” wrote Meri, 51, alongside a picture of her with Bonnie. “I didn’t watch the episode this week, but I’ve seen it, I’ve talked about it, I’ve relived it, and I remember that day very clearly and in great detail.”
Brown recalled the moment she drove to her mother’s place “praying I would get there before it was too late.” Unfortunately, her mom died before she arrived. “Truly heartbreaking,” she remembered.
“So many of you have reached out and sent messages, and I thank you for that,” she told her followers. “Thank you for all your words of kindness and support.”
“My mom was TRULY a one of a kind human,” she added. “Kind and giving beyond measure. She made everyone she met feel uniquely special, and no one ever went away from her without a hug.”
Brown noted that Bonnie was “so happy living out her final years at our B&B” Lizzie’s Heritage Inn in Utah.
“She was always the kind of person who would welcome people into her home with open arms and a giving heart, making them feel at home, and she continued that at the B&B,” wrote Meri. “I only hope to carry that spirit with me as I continue with future plans for the B&B, making everyone who enters feel welcome, loved, special, and worthy, just like my mom would have done.”
Brown lost her mom when she “suddenly” died in March 2021. She shared thedevastating lossin an Instagram post in May that captured how wonderful their relationship was.
“76 years and 17 days was not enough time for the world to feel the beautiful spirit of this beautiful woman,” she captured the photo.
“She left us suddenly, unexpected, and extremely way too soon and I literally don’t know how I’m going to do the rest of my life without her,” Meri added.
Earlier this year, on Mother’s Day, Brownhonored her late motheron an Instagram Story, posting a picture of her mom with a gif that read “Happy Mother’s Day.” While Meri didn’t say anything else about her mom, she reflected on her own time as a mother.
