Tammy Slaton, known for her appearance on TLC’s “1000-Lb. Sisters,” has revealed in a TikTok video how she keeps her late husband Caleb Willingham close to her at all times.
In a previous TikTok, Tammy had shared that she wears Caleb’s wedding ring. However, it turns out that she carries more than just the ring as a memento. In the new video, she explains that she also keeps some of Caleb’s ashes with her.
Tammy showcases a musical note necklace in the video and reveals that it contains her husband’s ashes. She explains that she and Caleb shared a love for music, making the musical note necklace a fitting choice. Additionally, she shows a ring with Caleb’s fingerprint made using his ashes. The ring also bears Caleb’s name and has a textured design that allows Tammy to feel his fingerprint.
Both the necklace and the ring have become daily accessories for Tammy. She admits feeling uneasy when she doesn’t have them on and experiences separation anxiety without the precious pieces. While she can be without them for a short time, she finds it extremely uncomfortable to be without them for too long.
Some fans have expressed confusion over Tammy’s sentimental attachment to Caleb’s passing, considering their impending divorce and rumors that they were not legally married. However, Tammy has clarified via TikTok that they were legally married on paper, and sources close to her have explained that their decision to divorce was unrelated to their love for each other. Tammy was focused on her weight loss journey and moving forward in life, while Caleb was not making progress, leading them to a point where remaining married no longer made sense.
Despite the circumstances, Tammy cherishes the memories of her late husband and keeps his presence close to her through the jewelry containing his ashes.
