TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie honored her late father, “my dear daddy,' in a sweet Instagram post on her 50th birthday.
Then she added, “And not far from mind or heart ever ever: my dear daddy, Christmas baby like me.”
Savannah Guthrie is pictured next to her mother, Nancy, and father, Charles, in this vintage family photo.It was a bittersweet nod to the man who meant so much to her, because while they shared similar Christmastime birthdates, 50 was a birthday milestone he never had the chance to reach himself. Savannah was just 16 years old when her father suffered a fatal heart attack. But, as she revealed in"My father was a seemingly unlikely mix of qualities: always strong, sometimes terrifying, loyal to the end, and disarmingly gentle and tender when it counted," she recalled."He was also tall, affectionate and funny; he had that personality that people describe as 'lighting up the room.
In short, he lived his life to the fullest and taught her just how precious life is, which she celebrated in her Instagram post Monday night. “He never turned 50 from 49,” Savannah wrote of her father. “But tonight I have! ... So I treasure this gift of life and remember you always. And thank god for a half century of His kindness and grace and blessing."Ree Hines is a freelance writer and editor who covers pop culture, lifestyle stories and trending news.
