Farrah Abraham Pays Tribute To Daughter's Late Father Derek On His Birthday

Yesterday was a bittersweet day for Farrah Abraham and her daughter Sophia, with the duo celebrating Mother’s Day in the morning before taking a trip to Sophia’s father Derek Underwood’s grave in the afternoon for what would have been his 26th birthday.

The Celebrity Big Brother star has always been keen to keep Derek’s memory alive for their daughter, with the teenager tragically dying in a car accident just one month before Sophia was born.

Taking to Instagam, Farrah shared a video of Sophia holding a whole load of balloons with messages written on them for “Daddy Derek”, that they were planning on releasing into the sky.

She captioned the video with: “Happy Mothers Day ! & Happy Birthday to Daddy Derek, we love and miss Daddy Derek happy 26th”.

Farrah then shared a photo of Derek’s grave, poignantly writing: “To the one & only Daddy Derek Happy 26th Birthday, thank you for blessing me with the best Mother’s Day Ever every year.”

Back in December, Farrah opened up about losing Derek in an emotional Instagram post to mark the seven-year anniversary of his passing.

She said at the time: “Today is a special day to take a moment to show our love for the loss of Daddy Derek who still is so important in our every day lives, this past year has had some struggles dealing with our loss.

"I’m so proud of Sophia for asking about when she will get to see her daddy Derek again, and having a healthy journey of discovery of what death is and how we grieve differently as a child and adult.

We think that Farrah is guiding Sophia through her grief in the best possible way.
