Jasmine Cephas Jones is mourning the loss of her father Ron Cephas Jones who died earlier this month.
The Hamilton actress, 34, admitted she’s had trouble accepting the fact her father is gone.
In a post shared on to Instagram on Wednesday, Jasmine broke her silence nearly two weeks after ET confirmed that the beloved Emmy-winning ‘’This Is Us’’ star died from a long-standing pulmonary issue. He was 66. Jasmine posted a number of throwback photos and videos in which she’s seen rapping or singing with her late father.
“Grief,” she captioned a post that highlighted her favorite moments with her late Father on Instagram.
“This one is a battle. I keep looking at my phone wanting to call you and wanting to hear your voice. You listened… you REALLY listened to me.” She stated
“You valued my opinion and you never judged me. We all know you were a great actor but my god you were a damn good father.
Your best gift to me as a father was giving me a safe space to just be me. Not afraid of my womanhood and all the pain and awkwardness and social anxiety and tough burdens that society can put on us. You understood that. You led me. Mentored me. Gut laughed with me. Cried with me. Sang with me. Celebrated me. Studied with me. Cared for me… and loved me.” Jasmine continued
”There’s so much so say, but I don’t have many words. I just love you so much. I miss you beyond words. I still feel you here with me and I will carry you in my heart forever. -Your Bird. 🤍🕊️.” She concluded
