Suzanne Somers’ son Bruce pays tribute to ‘warrior’ mom after her death: It was us against the world
Suzanne Somers’ son Bruce has paid touching tribute to his “brave warrior” mother after she died “peacefully at home” on October 15 following a years-long battle with cancer.
Taking to social media Monday, Bruce — whom Suzanne shared with her ex-husband, Bruce Somers Sr. — posted a sweet photo of the “Three’s Company” star giving him a kiss on the cheek.
“She soared higher than most can dream,” he began his heartfelt Instagram post.
“She protected those who didn’t have a voice. She asked the questions most didn’t know to ask.”
“She shared her challenges and brought light to solutions. To so many she was a brave warrior who articulated their fears. She wasn’t fearless, but she faced them so we could learn,” he continued.
She was a friend, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entertainer, an icon, and a legend. But to me, she was just Mom. I had the privilege as the only person who could call her that. Growing up, it was us against the world. And then she took the world by storm.”
The UCLA grad admitted that death always comes “too soon, no matter how prepared we may be.”
“But she will live through me as she taught me to be kind, to be present, to love and be loved, to care, to express, and to always speak from the heart… because THAT is the voice of God,” he shared.
“Mom, you left me with all the tools, though I’ll still need your guiding spirit around me. I feel you and know you are there,” he penned.
“But I will miss your sweet hand and caring eyes that would look deep into my soul for verification that everything was okay.”
Bruce Jr. thanked Suzanne for being “the best mother any son could ever dream of,” adding, “I miss you already. Call me greedy, but 57 years wasn’t enough. And yet, I received more love than I could ever imagine. I love you so dearly.”
“Happy Birthday on what would have been your 77th birthday,” he wrote. “Please gorge on all the birthday cake you want while you make all the other angels sing, dance, laugh and cry. Today, Heaven is lucky.
