In recent years, Glenn Thore’s life has undergone significant changes. He experienced the loss of his beloved wife, Babs, just a few winters ago and discovered the existence of his long-lost daughter, Angie, and her family.
Initially, Glenn had planned to relocate to Alabama to be closer to Angie, but it appears that his plans took a different turn. A new clip from My Big Fat Fabulous Life sheds light on Glenn’s decision to stay behind with his daughter, Whitney Way Thore.
Glenn’s Change of Heart Regarding Alabama
Despite his initial excitement about the prospect of a new adventure in Alabama, Glenn ultimately had a change of heart. The clip reveals his reasons for this decision.
The official TLC Instagram account captioned the video, “Glenn is choosing to stay close to home 🏠❤️ #MyBigFatFabLife.”
In the clip, Glenn explains to Whitney and Hunter, “You know, it hasn’t been that long since your mom’s passing. Babs is only about 15 minutes away from here, and I visit her at least once a week, sometimes two or three times. I just couldn’t bear the thought of not being close to visit her.”
In a confessional, Glenn further elaborates, “I was able to go to Alabama and spend some time with Angie and her family. But after thinking about it, moving to Alabama at this point was probably not the right thing for me. Losing Babs was a catastrophic event in my life, and that’s a good reason for me to stay close to family and have their support because I miss her terribly.”
