"This guy. In the midst of a weird year of highs (the giant show went to #1 for awhile) and lows (the dog boarded the mothership), two months ago, this guy also departed, making this the first Father’s Day where we’re not catching up about the US Open or 'steamwriting' or basic s--t-shooting," she captioned the post.

"Losing someone so significant during a global pandemic is strange - they just vaporize. I haven’t been able to go to his place and feel the loss, so it’s just on days like this, or on my birthday, or on any given day when we’d text or call about nothing and everything, that the loss starts to sink in," Daegan continued.
