Whitney Thore bought her father, Glenn Thore, swimming shorts with cats on them several months ago. The My Big Fat Fabulous Life reality star asked him to go swimming with her. But caring for her mother, Babs Thore, took up most of his time and energy. So, they never went.

However, since Babs has passed away, Whitney Thore is looking for ways to keep her and Glenn Thore busy and active. Yet, more than anything, she is looking for ways to keep the father-daughter duo together.

Babs Thore passed away in early December 2022. The My Big Fat Fabulous Life reality star had a few stokes. After suffering a severe one, she wasn’t able to recover. She had cerebral amyloid angiopathy. The condition causes proteins to build up on the walls of the arteries in the brain.

Whitney Thore got Glenn Thore a membership to their local pool. It had been a long time since he swam. So, they have been spending time together doing water aerobics. She has also been teaching him about the different types of stroke techniques.
