Abigail Breslin is wishing fans a happy “holiday grief season” after her dad, Michael Breslin, died from COVID-19 earlier this year.
“I’m not gonna lie. This is a weird one for me. My first holiday season sans my dada,” the actress, 25, wrote in a note shared to Instagram on Christmas Eve.
“I love the holiday season and am so thankful I get to spend it with my mom, my brothers, my friends and my boyfriend… I’m truly blessed,” she added. “But it’s hard to know I can’t call my daddy and wish him a merry Christmas or send him a gift certificate to a good steakhouse.”
Abigail continued on, admitting to her followers that “some days are harder than others.”
“Grief is a tricky little monster,” she explained. “I wish there was an expiration date to missing someone… but I had almost 25 great years of having an awesome dad and I feel as though I know what he’d be saying right now.”
The “Little Miss Sunshine” star concluded her post with a message to “anyone who’s missing someone” this holiday season: “I see you, I hear you and you’re not alone.”
Abigail’s father was 78 years old when he died from COVID-19 in February. His death came just two weeks after she revealed he had been put on a ventilator.
“My dad was a hilarious, boisterous, tenacious, rebellious, intelligent, sweet, incredible human being. He loved life. He loved his family. He loved the simple things,” Abigail wrote in a tribute to her father on Instagram at the time.
“We loved him. And we always will,” she continued. “I miss you daddy. I can’t wait to see you again. I won’t ever, ever, ever forget you. To the moon and back dada.”
Abigail isn’t the only celebrity who has lost a loved one amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Actor Edgar Ramirez revealed in August that he lost an aunt and uncle to the virus within 24 hours of each other.
“Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Echevarria’s mother also died in August from the virus on what was supposed to be the reality star’s wedding day.
“What was supposed to be the happiest day of my life today has turned out to be the saddest,” she wrote at the time.
