So, here we are, three months after the universe decided it was time for the incredibly talented Chance Perdomo to join the heavenly cast of “Actors Gone Too Soon.” At the tender age of 27, Chance left us in March after a rather unfortunate tango with a motorcycle. And now, in true dramatic fashion, his mom, Monica Perdomo, has taken to Instagram to deliver a tear-jerking monologue worthy of an Oscar.
Monica opened with, “Dear Friends and Fans, It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write to you following the passing of my beloved son, the love of my life, Chance Perdomo.” (Cue the violins.) She posted this alongside a black-and-white photo of Chance, which we all know is Instagram code for, “I’m about to make you cry.”
“Your love and support during this incredibly difficult time will be a source of immense comfort to our family,” she continued. Translation: “We’ve been a hot mess, but your virtual hugs are helping.” Chance wasn’t just another pretty face on the screen; he was a compassionate soul who had a knack for making people laugh, cry, and question their life choices all at once. Monica confessed that she’s been quieter than a mime at a library, trying to process this whole thing. Spoiler alert: it’s been tough.
But Monica isn’t just sitting around in her PJs eating ice cream and binge-watching Netflix. No, sir! She’s on a mission. “As his mother, I am deeply committed to keeping his legacy and memory alive,” she declared. And how, you ask? By turning his Instagram into a digital scrapbook of his greatest hits! Expect a barrage of photos and updates celebrating the life of this incredible human.
And wait, there’s more! In the spirit of Chance’s relentless passion and causes that made him tick, Monica is cooking up the Chance Perdomo Foundation. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill charity; it’s a superhero league dedicated to everything Chance cared about. Want to help? Check out the “Remembering Chance” merch collection. Yes, you heard that right—merch! Because nothing says “I miss you” like a T-shirt or a coffee mug.
Monica wraps up her heartfelt yet fashionable announcement with, “Thank you once again for your unwavering love and support. Your kindness and compassion have been a beacon of light in our darkest moments.” So, if you’ve been lighting up their world like a Christmas tree, pat yourself on the back.
Oh, and for all you “Gen V” fans out there, heads up! The show hit the pause button on season two, presumably because everyone needed a moment to ugly cry in their trailers.
A bittersweet cocktail of tears and chuckles. Our thoughts are with Chance’s family and loved ones. May his memory continue to bring laughter and light, just as he did.
