Catelynn Lowell Shares Touching Message After Returning Home from Rehab!
If you’ve been keeping up with Catelynn Lowell, then you know that these past several months have not been so kind to her.
In a way, the past several years haven’t been too kind to her, but let’s just stick with these current bad times, OK?
We’ve seen glimpses of what’s been going on, thanks to all the updates Catelynn and Tyler have shared on social media, and now that we’re getting further into this season of Teen Mom OG, the story is coming together.
Last fall, Catelynn and Tyler discussed having another child, and she was able to get pregnant pretty quickly. They told family members, and they were very excited.
But then she had a miscarriage, and it was very difficult for them both.
Things were so bad that Cate admitted to contemplating suicide, and she made the tough decision to check into a treatment center to deal with everything.
She stayed for a while before checking out early to spend the holidays with Tyler and their daughter, but quickly realized she wasn’t ready yet, so she checked back into rehab.
After completing the full six weeks, she returned home, but a few weeks after that, she announced that she’d be checking back into the same center to deal with childhood trauma and to get her medications adjusted.
She completed those six weeks of treatment, and went home just in time to film the Teen Mom reunion special.
So right now, she’s back in Michigan with her family, and hopefully she’s feeling much better now.
Well, we kind of know she’s feeling better now — she said so in a new post she made on Instagram!
The post is in the form of one of those inspirational memes you see floating around social media all the time, and it starts off with “I AM ENOUGH.”
“I am full of sparkle and compassion,” the text reads. “I genuinely want to make the world a better place. I love hard. I practice kindness. I am not afraid of the truth.”
“I am loyal, adventurous, supportive, and surprising. I am a woman. I am enough.”
The message, which Catelynn apparently thinks represents herself — and we do too, just to be clear! — continues with “I make mistakes, but I own them and learn from them.”
“Sometimes I make a lot of mistakes.”
In her own caption, she just added a bunch of emojis, like a heart and one of those kissy faces.
It is just a little Instagram post, but this is still a good sign, right?
It’s good that she’s thinking of herself in this way, and we’re hoping this means that she’s really done a lot of work in dealing with everything she’s been through.
And we’re not the only ones loving this kind of positivity — her comments were flooded with fans who are just as proud as can be of her.
“You are a beautiful, strong, amazing woman, mama, and wife!” one such person told her. “Keep fighting, girl!”
Another wrote “You ARE enough! Your journey has been inspiring & I thank you for always sharing with others because I can say it’s definitely helped me. Keep your head up!”
“Sweet girl!” yet another fan told her. “You’ve been through hell in your life and you are working through those traumas. You are beautiful, strong and an inspiration. Don’t forget that!”
It must be so nice for her to be able to hop on Instagram and see so much encouragement, right?
Of course, she does have some haters — she is a reality star, after all.
But it really does look like most people are being kind and considerate and uplifting, which is heartwarming, and almost enough to restore some faith in humanity.
Keep up the good work, Catelynn!

Tyler Baltierra Shares Touching Message to Catelynn Lowell on Their Anniversary!
When you think about it, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra really are remarkable, right?
They’ve been through so much together — after all, they’ve been dating for 12 (!!!) years.
If you can even believe it, these two started dating when they were just 13 years old, and ever since then, their lives have been a roller coaster ride.
And not always a fun one.
They both grew up with extremely troubled home lives: Tyler’s father was in and out of jail with his drug addiction, and Catelynn’s mother was pretty darn emotionally abusive, from what we’ve seen in early seasons of Teen Mom.
We can’t imagine those issues got any better when their parents got married after they began dating, making them step-siblings.
Then, a few years later, Catelynn got pregnant, and after taking a good, hard look at their situation, she and Tyler made the very selfless, very mature decision to place their baby for adoption.
A decision that earned them an alarming amount of ridicule and shame from their parents.
It’s all just so very sad, isn’t it?
But through it all, they had each other.
And they still do!
Yesterday, they celebrated their second wedding anniversary, and to mark the special occasion, Tyler shared a special message to Catelynn on Instagram.
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY babe,” he wrote. “We have been together for 12 years & now 2 of those years we have been married.”
“I am so lucky to have found you when I did. I love you SO much!”
Precious, right?
He also shared his wedding vows to her, which, you may remember, were pretty much the best wedding vows in the history of reality show weddings.
Maybe even weddings in general, it’s hard to say.
And hey, since it was just their anniversary, and since Tyler shared them again and everything, why don’t we revisit those vows?
First, grab some tissues, brace yourself, maybe grab a pet or a stuffed animal or something … and here we go.
“Catelynn,” his vows began, “from middle school sweethearts at the tender age of 13, to two teens in a crisis facing the odds together, to becoming parents and building a household together, to playfully goofing around together like children as if no one is watching …”
“All of these things and many more are the reason I want to make a promise to you, a promise that as long as I’m alive you will never be alone, you will never question if you are beautiful, you will never doubt that you are worthy, and you will never wonder if you are loved.”
“You are my angel, my soulmate, my best friend,” he wrote in that darling speech.
“I believe you were brought into this world and destined to be loved by me, cherished by me.”
He finished it all of with “I anxiously await to be able to love you forever as my wife.”
Those are the amazing vows he wrote for Catelynn, and, just in case you somehow forgot, he cried while reading them to her at the wedding.
Catelynn and Tyler have their problems for sure, but still, it’s obvious that they love each other.
Happy anniversary, guys, and here’s to many, many more!

Audrey Roloff: Touching Fan Interaction Melts Hearts Everywhere!
Audrey Roloff is super mega pregnant (she’s due at the end of the month!), but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have time to address her fans.
Sometimes that means reaching out to them, and sometimes that means giving them a much-needed boost over social media.
This story, about how Audrey Roloff inspired and uplifted one of her disabled followers, will touch your heart.
Maya La’shae has cerebral palsy and, after taking Audrey Roloff’s advice, began to blog about her life and experiences.
Blogging isn’t just for politics or whatever — it can be positively therapeutic. It can also build communities.
As Maya shares in this Instagram post accompanying a collage that she made, she credits the idea behind to blog to Audrey.
“I made this yesterday @audreyroloff I remember when I talked to you about wanting to share my story about my disability but didn’t really know how or what to do and you said to me how about you start a blog.”
Good advice.
“I said could I really do that and had 1000 things going on you said nothing is impossible without god. In April I started my blog without you this would not have happened.”
Between Facebook and Instagram, Maya already has hundreds of followers.
“It took me a while to [figure] out what you meant by that you mean I can do anything I put my mind too. As I look back I think look at god he bless me and got me where I am today.”
Cerebral palsy can come with a host of symptoms, from trouble with movement to problems with one’s senses to trouble swallowing.
About one-third of those with cerebral palsy have trouble thinking as a symptom of their condition.
Maya can blog, but not everyone with cp could do the same.
“My point is it is not often you find godly woman to motivate you and speak to you about anything your wanting to know. Now I know why you say always more it means never give up and motivate people more and more.”
Reaching out to your followers and inspiring them is arguably the best use of celebrity status or fame.
“@audreyroloff you are gods giver and definitely on of my inspirations in life.”
That is so sweet!
And it gets sweeter.
Audrey Roloff shared the post via her Instagram story, boosting it so that her hundreds of thousands of followers would see it.
Faith — from any religion or body of spiritual belief — can be integral to a person’s life and identity.
That can often be extra true for people who understandably have more existential questions, like those who have chronic conditions and lifelong disabilities.
Audrey Roloff clearly shares her faith with Maya, and that is so empowering and uplifting and beautiful.
Now, Audrey Roloff can sometimes be a controversial character.
Like, she gave out relationship advice that compared marriage to war and referred to porn as a “danger” to her marriage or maybe just to marraiges in general.
(Also “idolizing your kids,” whatever that means)
She got some perplexed reactions when she talked about how reciting marital vows during sex can be really hot.
Now, talking during sex is pretty normal, but that’s … different.
But, hey, to each their own, right?
Most recently, it seemed that Audrey Roloff condemned Millennials as a “crooked and twisted generation,” though Audrey herself is a Millennial and the prayer that she shared may have been using “generation” in a different sense, referring to all of humanity.
(Which is … better? Maybe)
Honestly, though, Audrey’s “controversies” are nothing when you compare her to other reality stars.
Honestly, think what you will about Audrey Roloff’s controversial statements.
But you should absolutely give her credit where credit is due, and boosting a fan’s moving post was very, very sweet.
Honestly, when we see Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff together, we don’t think about controversies or even their sweet moments.
We think that their baby is pretty much destined to have fantastic hair.
Like, red hair is a recessive trait (I would know), so nothing’s guaranteed in that department.
But when both of your parents have top-notch hair, you hope that their kid will inherit that same greatness.

Daniel Stern Pens Touching Tribute to John Heard: The Coolest Cat EVER!
Home Alone star Daniel Stern took to Twitter to share an emotional letter to his longtime friend and co-star John Heard, who died Friday.
Stern, 59, told fans that he knew Heard as far back as the early ’70s, long before the movie for which both actors became best known.
Stern played one half of the Wet Bandits, Marv, while Heard played family patriarch Peter McCallister in the 1990 Christmas film classic.
When he heard the sad news that John Heard died suddenly at the age of 72, Stern wrote an emotional letter, which he posted to Twitter.
In it, he detailed their history together and the side of an actor even many longtime fans of his work probably aren’t familiar with.
“John Heard was the coolest cat in New York City for about 10 straight years, 1974-1984,” Stern, who also starred in City Slickers, wrote.
“Ask anybody who was there then. Every actor wanted to be as intense as him, every woman wanted to sleep with him.”
“He was defiant, he was poetic, he was ridiculously generous,” Stern said of his friend, “and he was charismatic as hell.”
Stern explained that he met Heard the day he moved to New York City to become an actor, and that John changed his life as a result.
“John was the very first person I knew to be in a movie,” he wrote. “It had never crossed my mind that that was a thing you could do.”
“I was a theater rat in high school,” Stern says, “and New York only meant trying to be a professional actor in the theater.”
After Heard invited Stern to a showing of his 1977 movie Between the Lines, the Maryland native realized that he, too, could do films.
Early on in his career, Stern and his wife, Laure Mattos, were plagued by financial troubles; Heard helped out whenever he could.
“We were amazed that he had that kind of cash to throw around,” he said of Heard, who frequently treated them to dinners out.
“It was so sweet over the years to have our family and home become a place of ‘normalcy’ in John’s otherwise frenetic life.”
“He so loved having his ‘kid brother’ do good and thrilled at our kids’ accomplishments,” he said of their lasting friendship.
Stern notes that many obituaries have referred to him as “Home Alone actor John Heard” when he was so much more.
As Stern admitted in his letter, which appears below, “What’s funny is I never remember that John is even in that movie.”
“I’ve only ever really watched it once, and he and the family were all so great in it. But we never had any scenes in it together.”
“We only crossed paths on the set once or twice.”
Even remembering him only as an actor wouldn’t do him justice, his friend said, because of the simple but profound way he lived.
“Nothing was more intense than John’s performance in life,” Stern concluded his tribute. “He lived it hard, fast and fearlessly.”
“He was a romantic and a raconteur.”
“He was as loyal and generous as they come. He was a friend and a brother and a legend in his time. RIP John.”
As for his passing, various reports regarding Heard’s cause of death have surfaced, but nothing has been concluded definitively.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones and friends at this difficult time, and we thank Daniel for sharing his wonderful letter.

Jared Padalecki Pens Touching Letter to Children After Father"s Day
We’ve watched Jared Padalecki grow up on a string of WB/The CW drama series over many years, and we still can’t quite believe he’s a father to three children.
It is crazy how the time flies, right?
Turns out, Jared is embracing fatherhood with open arms and even penned a touching letter to his children after Father’s Day. His wife, Genevieve Cortese shared the letter on her blog, Now & Gen, on Thursday.
It was titled Post Father’s Day Thoughts and included a whole lot of thoughts that will hit you right in the feels. He and Genevieve have three children, Thomas, 5, Austin, 3, and Odette, 3 months.
“I realize Father’s Day was supposed to be about … well … ‘fathers’ … praising them and thanking them and making them feel needed and appreciated. But, as the ‘father’ in this relationship, I wanted to change things up a bit,” the actor’s letter began.
“I wanted to take this opportunity, after my fifth Father’s Day (and counting), not to say ‘you’re welcome,’ but to say ‘thank you.’”
In the letter, the star reflects on some funny moments in which his kids turned his trailer into a “jungle gym,” his office into a “secret candy storage bunker,” his bed into a “UFC octagon, and his truck into “a giant garbage and food crumb receptacle.”
“Thank you for making my trailer feel like more than just a ‘place I go to work,’ thank you for our ‘don’t tell mom’ excursions up to my office to have a sweet treat, thank you for testing the mattress springs, thank you for making me clean my truck more often,” he said.
“Thank you for letting me feel what it’s like to love something more than yourself. I have your back, now and always. You’ve humbled me, you’ve helped me rediscover the joy of discovery. You’re turned my world upside down. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Was that, like, the biggest tearjerker of the century?
Hit the comments, you guys.

Father of 3 Daughters Pens Touching Letter to Ariana Grande
With Ariana Grande at home with her family in Florida – laying low while trying to deal with the aftermath of a suicide bombing at her concert this week – someone who has never even met the singer has reached out to offer assistance.
This is yet another example of humanity’s best shining through during a time when we’re always forced to grapple with its worst.
Patrick Millsaps, a father of three young daughters, wrote a lengthy open letter to the Grammy nominee on social media in which he urged the artist to “take care of you first.”
The singer, of course, is at the center of the news this week for the most horrible of reasons.
On Monday night in Manchester, an ISIS-connected attacker detonated an explosive that killed 22 attendees at Grande’s concert.
The blast injured dozens more, prompting the world to stop and mourn – and, to a far lesser extent, prompting Grande to cancel portions of her upcoming tour.
Insiders have told multiple outlets in the days since that Ariana is “devastated” by what happened.
Which is what led Millsaps to address the star in this unexpected message.
“You have been a part of our family for years,” wrote the father, adding in humor:
“On occasion, your songs may have stayed on the radio AFTER I have dropped the girls off at school.”
Millsaps then urged the 23-year-old not to blame herself for the deadly attack that transpired.
“You are no more responsible for the actions of an insane coward who committed an evil act in your proximity than you would be for a devastating natural disaster or acts of morons near your hotel.”
Upon calling off various European tour dates in the weeks ahead, Grande said the following:
“We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence.
“Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you.”
With unexpected time off on the way, Millsaps offered a few pieces of advice to Grande.
“Spend time with your God, your family and your friends who will give you space and support when you need it,” he wrote, explaining later that he does think Ariana should return to the stage.
When the time is right, that is.
“When and only when you are ready….SING AGAIN. Music is the international language of peace. Every time you open your mouth and share that incredible God-given gift to the world, you make this crappy world a little less crappy
“Your fans aren’t going anywhere.”
Patrick signed the letter “Sincerely, Morgan, Alison & Kendall’s Daddy.”
Grande has received messages of support from strangers, family members and friends over the past few days.
Some, such as this one from Kim Kardashian, got the sender in trouble.
But most clearly came from a place of sympathy and affection.
“It’s really been an eye-opener and for my friend Ariana it’s just beyond me,” Miley Cyrus said on Today this morning, adding:
“And I can’t wait to I get a second and give her a big hug, for sure.”
Cyrus also dedicated a song to Grande on The Voice this week (below), writing on Instagram shortly after the attack:
“Wishing I could give my friend @arianagrande a great big hug right now… love love love you …. so sorry you had to be apart of such a tragic event!” she wrote alongside an Instagram photo of herself and Grande.
“my most sincere condolences to anyone and everyone affected by this horrific attack! all I can do is send as much HOPE & PEACE your way!
“This MUST end! No more war …. no more innocent lives taken …. L-O-V-E.”
We feel the same.
We send our best wishes to Grande and to everyone who has been affected by this terrorist act.

Adam Levine Pays Touching Tribute to Christina Grimmie on The Voice
Back in June of 2016, up-and-coming pop singer and former The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was murdered while signing autographs for fans following a concert in Orlando.
She was just 22 years old.
Grimmie was a tremendous talent at the beginning of what was likely to be an extraordinary career.
More importantly, however, those closest to Christina say that she"ll be remembered as a truly kind and generous soul who sang out of a pure desire to share her gift with the world.
During her time on The Voice, Christina was coached by Adam Levine, who continued to mentor the young singer as she embarked on a recording career.
Last night, with Grimmie"s parents and brother front and center, Levine and his team honored Christina with a moving rendition of the Beatles" "Hey Jude."
"I miss her, it"s unfair that she"s not here and we"re gonna sing her a little song tonight, and I"m going to be singing every word to her in her honor," Levine told Christina"s family.
In March, Christina"s parents thanked her fans for their support and announced that their daughter"s first full-length studio album, All Is Vanity, will be released on June 2 to coincide with National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Christina was shot to death by an obsessed fan, and her parents say they"ll spend the rest of their days wondering how her death could have been prevented.
Watch Levine and his team"s moving tribute to Grimmie in the clip below:

Adam Sandler Pays Tribute to Charlie Murphy in Touching Interview
As we all know at this point, Charlie Murphy passed away earlier this week after battling leukemia.
He was only 57 years old.
And, as it turns out, he was really, really loved.
Celebrities far and wide took the time to pay tribute to the legendary late comedian, and all of them had a story about how funny and kind he was.
His death is obviously a huge loss to those that knew him — and Adam Sandler is one of those suffering.
Adam went on Good Morning America yesterday to promote his latest Netflix movie, but he took time at the beginning of the interview to talk about Charlie.
And it really is just touching to see.
"Can I just say, Charlie Murphy … loved him," he began. "My respect to his family and thinking of all of you."
"As a guy, he was the sweetest guy to see and talk to, and we"re all going to miss him very much. It"s great that you"re talking about him."
Adam, who is clearly feeling emotional about the subject, said that while comedians share a close community, Charlie "just stood out."
"You got so happy seeing Charlie, anywhere you saw him," he said. "He was just a good person."
See Adam"s moving remarks in the interview below:

Dave Chappelle, John Mayer Pay Touching Tribute to John Mayer
Yesterday, the world learned the tragic news that comedy icon Charlie Murphy had passed away at the age of 57.
Tributes to Murphy began pouring in from all corners of social media almost immediately, many of them from the late actor and standup"s colleagues in the entertainment world.
But it wasn"t until today that we learned of the manner in which Murphy"s life was commemorated by his two most important collaborators: his brother, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle, the man whose sketch show helped make Charlie a household name.
It was on Chappelle"s Show that Murphy shared the side-splitting tales of his encounters with Rick James and Prince, and it seems that like the rest of us, Chappelle still enjoys quoting the best lines with his friends.
Of course, in Chappelle"s case, his friends are A-listers like John Mayer, and when they quote Charlie Murphy, they do it on stage in front of 20,000 people.
Chappelle joined Mayer during a concert in Ohio last month, and the two of them reflected on Murphy"s life and contributions to the world of comedy.
“Today, I got some terrible news,” Chappelle told the crowd.
“My good friend, Charlie Murphy, passed away this morning, and everybody in comedy is heartbroken.”
Dave and John reflected on the highlights of Murphy"s tragically shortened career (It"s good to know we"re not the only ones who still call people "habitual line-steppers."), and Chappelle asked Mayer to honor Charlie with a performance of "You"re Gonna Live Forever In Me."
"Rest in peace Charlie Murphy," Chappelle said by way of introducing the song.
"We love you. We loved your comedy, we loved your stories, and we love your spirit."

Teen Mom OG: See The Moms Touching Messages to Their Kids!
Before you watch this new Teen Mom OG video, you"re going to want to grab some tissues and plan out a good 30-45 minutes to just lay down and cry it out.
Because if you do, in fact, have feelings, this will make you feel every last one of them.
Ahead of the new season"s premiere, our favorite OG moms, Catelynn Lowell, Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, and Farrah Abraham came together to film a special little video.
See, it"s been eight whole years since the girls became teen mothers. That means their kids are halfway to 16 years old themselves — crazy, right?
To celebrate the special occasion, the moms filmed sweet little messages for their children.
And it will absolutely touch your heart.
Seriously: this video is so adorable that at one point, Farrah breaks down in tears, saying that she"s "seriously thankful" for Sophia, because she helped her become "the best mom that I can be, and it makes my heart proud, and it makes me just happy living every day."
Farrah Abraham made us cry, and not because of her overwhelming awfulness. Because she"s being sweet and genuine and loving.
Another heartbreaking moment is when Amber tells her daughter, Leah, a bit about her time in prison, but tells her "You"re not going to mess up like I did, and I will make sure of that."
The whole thing is just so lovely though … but seriously, get your tissues:

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds Honored in Touching Public Memorial
It may seem difficult to believe, but it’s been three months now since Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died.
Absolutely heartbreaking, right?
On December 23rd, Carrie was on a flight to L.A. when she suffered a massive heart attack. When paramedics were able to get to her on the airport, she was unresponsive.
She remained in the hospital for a few days, but on December 27th, she passed away.
The very next day, Carrie’s mother, the legendary Debbie Reynolds, died after suffering a stroke.
Intense, right? And so very, very heartbreaking.
Carrie and Debbie had a joint funeral in January for family and friends: Carrie was cremated with her ashes placed in an urn shaped like a Prozac pill, and Debbie was buried along with some of Carrie’s ashes.
But today, a public memorial was held for them both at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in L.A.
And it was so, so touching.
The event was organized by Todd Fisher, Carrie’s brother and Debbie’s son.
In a speech to the audience, Todd explained that “When Carrie died, my mother decided to change her plans a bit.”
“My mother always said to me, ‘I never want to go to my daughter’s funeral service. I would like to be buried with Carrie."”
“I didn’t know she was going to leave us the very next day,” he said, “and when she looked at me to ask permission to leave, she said she wanted to be with Carrie, and she closed her eyes and went to sleep.”
“It was a beautiful exit.”
The service featured music composed by John Williams, as well as performances by the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles and dancers from Debbie Reynolds’ dance studio.
Dan Aykroyd, Carrie’d one-time fiancé, provided the closing remarks.
James Blunt wrote a song for the occasion — he was a close friend of Carrie’s, close enough that he chose her to be the godmother of his child.
In an earlier interview, Todd said that “The last lyric in the song, it’s a beautiful song, is ‘I’m here to let you know. I’m here to let you go."”
“And it’s powerful.”
Todd’s also explained that he wanted to hold a special service for the public because “That’s how my mother would want it.”
He explained that “She was very connected to her fans and felt they were part of her, so we’re opening it to the public.”
After the memorial service, fans were able to visit Debbie and Carrie’s graves.
What an incredible loss, but still, what a touching tribute to these two legendary ladies.

Donald Faison Mourns Death of Ex-Wife with a Touching Tribute
With iconic roles in Scrubs and Clueless, we’re used to Donald Faison bringing us so much laughter.
But today, Donald is bringing the tears.
Seriously, this will very likely break your heart.
Because while Donald is happily married to CaCee Cobb these days, she wasn’t his first wife.
In 2001, he married a woman named Lisa Askey, who was a nursing student when they met. They were married for four years, and in that time, they had three children — twins Dade and Kaya, and a son named Kobe.
Unfortunately, Lisa passed away this week.
We don’t yet know what happened, but we do know that Donald and his children are mourning her death … and that they’re moving us to tears.
Donald posted this photo, originally posted by his son Dade (we’re assuming these are the hands of Dade and his mother), and his caption was absolutely heartbreaking.
“My son Dade is very brave,” he wrote. “Today he and his brother Kobe and sister Kaya lost their mother. Lisa Askey Faison.”
“She and I never really saw eye to eye,” he admitted, “but one thing we did share was our love for our children. RIP Lisa. You raised three beautiful children into fine adults and I am forever grateful for that.”
“May god bless your soul with light and love.”
Donald also shared his son’s original tribute, which read “I just wanted to say thank you so much mom! You have been there for me when I needed you most.”
“I can’t believe it has come to this but I know you are in a better place right now. I love you with all my heart and one day we shall meet again.”
“You worked so hard and never gave up no matter how hard times got. R.I.P. mom and until next time!” he finished.
Donald and Lisa’s twins, Dade and Kaya, just turned 18, but their younger son, Kobe, is only 16 years old.
Donald is a very active father, and obviously a very caring father, so we’re sure he’ll be helping his children through what has to be a rough time.
Our condolences to the whole family … they clearly lost a very special woman.

Leonardo DiCaprio Pays Touching Tribute to Alan Thicke
Last night, the world learned that beloved sitcom star Alan Thicke passed away after suffering a massive heart attack while playing hockey with his son.
Thicke has been mourned by millions on social media, including many celebrities who knew the actor personally.
Of course, despite his many roles over the years, Thicke remains best known as Jason Seaver on the long-running ABC series Growing Pains – a show that also launched the career of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Leonardo DiCaprio wasn’t an original member of the Growing Pains cast, but he’s often said that when he signed on in the show’s final season, at the age of 16, he was welcomed like family.
Today, the Oscar-winner posted a moving tribute to Thicke on his Facebook page:
“Alan was a devoted father, husband, friend and role model. He knew how to harness the power of the entertainment industry to be a positive influence in so many lives – including mine.
“I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Alan early in my career. He had tremendous class, a huge heart, and he taught me and so many others the valuable lessons about humility and gratitude.
“I’ve seen him a number of times over the years and when Alan Thicke walked in the room, quite frankly, no one was cooler. I miss him already – my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Thicke family during this difficult time.”
Actor Kirk Cameron, who starred on the show as Thicke’s son, Mike Seaver, also shared come kind words about one of his first co-stars on social media:
“I spent Monday through Friday for seven important years with Alan Thicke as my ‘TV dad.’ I’m shocked and truly heartbroken today at the news of his death,” Cameron wrote on Instagram.
“Alan was a generous, kind and loving man. I am so blessed to have grown up with him. Chelsea and I send our love and prayers to his family tonight. We will cherish the memories…’sharing the laughter and love."”
Thicke is survived by three children, including his eldest son, pop singer Robin Thicke.
