Jimmy's Heartfelt Tribute to His Late Mother Will Touch Every Mom

Last night, Jimmy Thompson returned to his late-night show after stepping away for a week following the loss of his mother, who passed away on November 4th. It was his first opportunity to share his feelings with the audience, and his emotional tribute is bound to bring tears to any mother’s eyes.

“Many of you might know that my mom, Carol, recently passed away. I took some time off to be with my family and make arrangements,” Jimmy began, his voice cracking. “She was my biggest supporter, always in the front row, and the one I wanted to hear laughing. She loved everything I did.”

In a touching moment, he reminisced about their special bond from his childhood. “When my sister and I were little, my mom would take us to the store. We’d hold hands, and she would squeeze my hand three times while saying, ‘I love you.’ I would squeeze back and say, ‘I love you too,’” he shared.

Things took a heartbreaking turn for Jimmy last week when he squeezed his mother’s hand in the hospital and declared, “I love you.” This time, there was no squeeze back. “I just knew we were in trouble,” he confessed.

We all have those unique moments with our kids, don’t we? Those little rituals that are just ours. Ever since my kids saw Tangled, they respond to “I love you” with “I love you more,” followed by “I love you most!” It’s those simple, everyday interactions that we cherish, even when we often fret about whether we’re doing enough for them. Hearing Jimmy’s story reminds us of the precious little moments that leave a lasting impact on our children’s hearts.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful memory, Jimmy. You really made us all reach for the tissues this morning and reminded us how much our kids appreciate the small ways we show our love.
