Imani shared a carousel of beautiful photos of herself and her father throughout the years, along with a heartfelt caption:
dear daddy,
there are no words to describe this immeasurable loss.
I’m in absolute disbelief and shock.
you were my biggest hype man,
my protector,
my biggest musical inspiration,
the kindest and most selfless man,
and the best father anyone could’ve ever had.
no one will EVER measure up to how brave and strong you are. till the very end, you made sure to protect me from anything that would scare or hurt me.
I love you so much, Daddy. I wish I had more time to spend with you—for you to show me new music, play piano with me to our favorite songs, or go back and forth about our favorite go-to meals.
you’re a one-of-a-kind soul, and I’m so grateful you chose me to be your daughter. I’m not sure how I’ll be able to live on without you, but I’ll never forget all of your advice and the things you told me about getting through this life.
Dad… I miss you more than life itself, and this is breaking my heart into a million pieces. I wish I could hold your hand just one more time.
I will forever honor you and carry on your legacy, Dad. Everything I do will always be for you. I’m gonna miss you and hearing your voice every single day.
I’ll always be your BabyGirl 😞❤️🩹💔
