“Dad, Today is your birthday,” she wrote. “I had an extra strong cup of tea just how you liked it. I hugged Mum for you and told her how much we love her. Robert and I went on a hike through the mountains you cherished. I watched one of your documentaries with Chandler and shared stories about you. I walked through your office in the zoo and smiled at our old family photographs.”

“Today and every day I miss you and love you beyond description,” Bindi finished the caption. “You’re always with me.”
