“Hey Ru. I lost my mother today on mother’s day. It’s been a tough one for me. This message came just in time. My mom loved you. She thought you were so funny and charming. Happy Mothers Day to you,” Bob wrote on Ru‘s thoughtful post about the holiday.
In RuPaul‘s video, he opened up about his own mother, who died over 30 years ago. “For all of you out there who are spending Mother’s Day without your mothers, just know that she lives in you and you carry that torch,” Ru said.
On Bob‘s own social media, he shared a photo of his mother, writing: “Happy Mother’s Day, everyone. Please call your mother today and tell her that you love her.”
