Andy posted a photo on Instagram of himself lying by his mom’s headstone, with Louie on his stomach. In a lengthy caption, he writes, “Today is 9 years since my sweet mother left this world. I brought my little [girl] to her grave site this morning and it was extra special sweet. I remember standing at this spot shell shocked as we lowered her body into the ground. All I knew was I had lost my center, that there was a huge whole in my world and that it could never be filled.”
He continues, “Little did I know having a mother on the other side can be pretty special too. I am not foolish enough to think that any of my success has been without the help of a bada** mother pulling strings through the universe.”
“I love you mom. We put the K in the middle of her name so she will always have you in the middle of her life,” Andy goes on to say. “I hope she will have your playfulness, your spirit, your sense of justice, your love of chocolate, your faith, and your thirst for depth in life…”
The singer closes by saying, “This life is beautiful, but it becomes even more beautiful when you are forced to face the fact that there is more to this life then this life. To all those who have lost someone close to them, they are around… It’s a mystical relationship that never ends. Sending love to wherever you are my sweet mother.”
