The former skier started skiing at a very young age, and her mother used to take her on a 16-hour drive to Vail, Colorado, for the betterment of her daughter’s career.However, after a long period of togetherness and support, the skier lost her mother in 2022, three years after she retired from skiing. Remembering her mother on her second death anniversary, Vonn penned a heartfelt note on social media. She shared a carousel of pictures that carried beautiful moments of the mother-daughter duo together.
Vonn added a heartwarming caption to the post, revealing that she cried a little less this year and spent the day doing the favorite things they loved to do together:
“It’s been 2 years without my Mom, I miss her every day, but especially today. Today I cried a little less than last year, I’m learning how to hold on to our memories together tighter.””
Vonn added:
“I watched some Law and Order and am going to have an ice cream for desert, just like she would have wanted. You’re always with us Mom. I love you.”
Lindsey Vonn revealed how her mother passing away was an eye-opener for her
Lindsey Vonn, who felt that her mother passed away on short notice, opened up about how her death made her realize that living life to the fullest is important in an interview with Elle. She said that she never wastes a second and is focused on using every opportunity in her life
“It’s only when you see how quickly things slip away that you realize anything can happen at any moment. I now use every opportunity that I have to live my life to the fullest. I never waste a second. I keep perspective of how lucky I am.”
Vonn also revealed how she connected with her mother after her death:
My mom lost her own mother when she was 16, and she always used to say, “I talk to her, and when I’m gone, I want you to talk to me as if I’m still here.” So I do. Sometimes I’ll sit outside and talk to her. I think she’s there with me, and that helps.
