She began, "Yesterday I woke up with a daddy and went to bed without one."

The cookbook author explained how it was just a normal day before her father's passing.

"All the same things happened. Hurried shower. Picked up stuffing from the dog toys. Answered some emails. Avoided some. Laughed with my friends and put on a pretty dress for a friend's birthday. Took a video. How cute is this dress!" Teigen wrote.

"And then my dad just like…f**** died," she mourned.

Chrissy continued, "I thought that since we talk about it and I've come to terms with him always having been an 'old dad' that I wouldn't have fallen to the ground the way I did. I've thought about this phone call for years. I'll be ready.”

She concluded her post, writing, "God I love you so much. I will talk to you every night. Thank you for being such a great dad. Until we complain again."

Along with the lengthy tribute Chrissy also posted a video of Ron sitting at a dinner table joking about salmon.

Chrissy's husband John Legend also paid tribute to Ron in the comment section, writing, "We love you so much Papa Ron. I'm so glad you got to spend so much time with your grandbabies. I loved seeing you beam with pride at the beautiful family you helped create."
