TODAY fashion host Bobbie Thomas admitted ‘nothing is normal’ after her husband Michael Marion’s shocking death.
He suffered an Ischaemic Stroke last April, which was caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain, and left him wheelchair-bound.
Earlier today Bobbie post pictures with her late husband, Michael, when he was in the hospital.
She captioned the snaps: “Nothing is normal. Maybe nothing will ever be normal again. For me, it won’t. My husband is gone. With all the fear, anger, and division going on in the world right now, it’s so easy to get upset about the lack of normalcy.
“But I beg you, everyone reading this, hold onto what you do have right now instead of focusing on what you don’t. One thing we all have is kindness. Absorb it, extend it, exhaust it. Because in the end, the ONLY thing that matters is love. If you’re lucky enough to have it, please appreciate it, every moment, every day. Especially during the hard parts.
“There will never be enough time and some of our forevers are much too short. As I type through tears, I embrace gratitude … holding our precious son Miles and memories, of the time I did have with Michael, closer to my broken heart. Thank you all for the love and support you’ve shown us and our families. Please go hug the people you love.”
An obituary for Michael read: “Our hearts are broken.
“With great sadness, we mourn the loss of our beloved Michael, who passed away on Dec. 1, 2020 at age 42 after a heroic struggle.
“Beloved by his many friends, colleagues, and extended family, he had a smile that lit up every room he entered.”
Michael was born and raised in Bethesda and also studied at the University of Michigan as well as the George Washington School of Law and the New York University School of Law.
When Bobbie had previously provided updates on Michael’s death she said: “We celebrate every little victory.
“It’s hard to appreciate those small things if we look ahead.
“In a weird way, I would never want this to happen to anybody, but there has been so many gifts that have come along with having to reprioritize, and there’s a bond we have that’s unbreakable.”
Bobbie and Michael married in 2013 at the home of TV host, Kathie Lee Gifford.
The pair share a five-year-old son, Miles, who was conceived via IVF after Bobbie’s struggle with infidelity.
