Whitney Purvis is mourning the tragic loss of her son.
The 16 and Pregnant alum shared a heartbreaking message honoring her late son Weston Gosa Jr.—who she shared with ex Weston Gosa—following the teen’s death on June 2.
In the message, Whitney—who appeared on the MTV show in 2009 while she was pregnant with Weston—detailed some of her favorite moments with her son that she will carry with her.
“I will always cherish our memories together,” she wrote on Instagram June 3. “The songs you use to love, your laugh, the phases you would go through, the little dolphin noise you use to do when you were younger, your smile, your jokes.”
She continued to reminisce on some of the important firsts in Weston’s life, as well as his special role as a big brother to River, who she and Weston Sr. welcomed in 2014 amid their on-and-off relationship, and Collin Adonis, 2, whose birth she announced on Instagram in 2023.
“The first day of school, playing with you, your first time swimming,” she added, “making crafts, how you would dance in your crib to the law and order svu theme song, being a great big brother.”
She concluded the letter by looking back at her special moments with Weston from the beginning of his life to the end.
“The first time I held you,” she wrote, “and the last hug I gave you.”
Whitney continued, “I love you, Weston more than words could ever describe. Rest in peace, my beautiful boy.”
