Adam Demos' emotional tribute to his mother
The actor admitted the loss has left him in what he described as a “strange club” of only children whose parents are both gone. He wrote, "I don’t know what life looks like without her. I don’t need answers now. What I do know is I’m not alone, I have an abundance of love and support that I truly didn’t think was possible. They have not allowed me once to feel that I am doing this on my own. From Australia to LA etc they have shown up in a way I didn’t think was possible and I have no idea how I get through it without them. You all know who you are and I love you more than words."
