In a new Instagram Reel shared to an acoustic cover version of Oasis's Champagne Supernova, Kelsey shared never-before seen pics and clips from their life together.
This include adorable moments of Tom playing with the kids, their wedding day, through to the simple things like driving together in a car.
In the caption was an open letter to Tom, where Kelsey reflected on the things he had missed out on, and the legacy he left behind.
"Can’t believe it’s been two years. Feels like only yesterday that you left us," she wrote. "But I feel like I’ve been on my own for a long time now and so much has changed since you were here.

Reg flags of cancer you must look for and act upon
THERE are more than 200 types of cancer, each with its own set of symptoms.
A cough lasting three weeks or more is a key sign of lung cancer – the most common cancer in the UK.
Changes to bowel habits lasting more than three weeks, such as diarrhoea, constipation, blood when you poo, or needing to go more often, are signs of bowel cancer, the second most common form of the disease.
There are also common symptoms that can be “red flags” of many forms of cancer, and should always be checked.
They include:
- Weight loss for no obvious reason.
- Pain that is persistent and unexplained, whether it be dull and consistent, or sharp and brief.
- Any lumps, bumps or swellings, such as in the neck, armpit, stomach, groin, chest, breast or testicle.
- Fatigue that makes you feel tired all the time and generally lacking in energy.
- Night sweats that are very heavy or a fever that can’t be explained.
- Changes to the skin, such as puckering on the breast, moles that have changed, very itchy or yellow skin.
- Unexplained bleeding from the bottom or vagina, or blood in urine, semen, stool, vomit or when coughing.
"I know you’d be so proud of me, I’m so proud of me, but I wish more than anything you were here to tell me yourself. For you to wrap your arms around me and share in the excitement of every milestone reached."
"They say the second year is the hardest and everyone keeps telling me if I can survive that I can survive anything," she continued. "But I’m somehow feeling a weaker than I have before.
"Rae and Bodhi asking more questions and I just need you here to help me answer them. Two whole years and it’s getting harder not easier."

"I miss you more than ever." she heartbreakingly concluded. "Celebrating you and all we had today and forever.
"Remember I love you one more than you can ever say My Tommy Boy Forever."
The couple had been married for four years at the time of his death, getting married in 2018 after getting engaged two years prior.
However, they were young sweethearts - first meeting in 2009 when Tom was 21 and Kelsey was only 19.
