The late grunge legend and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was remembered this Father's Day by his 12-year-old daughter Toni.
Cornell's official Facebook page shared a photo collage and a letter from Toni addressed to her father on Sunday in celebration of the holiday, and it's a touching tribute to his influence and dedication to fatherhood despite the demands of being a rockstar.
"Every time you came home from tour you spent all your hours with us. No matter how tired you were, how many time zones you traveled, you were there for us," Toni wrote. "Whenever I was sick you would take care of me. You would cuddle with me, hug me, kiss me."
Toni also detailed how her father shared the art and music of others, like Prince, and how that impacted her.
"Our special connection was always the arts. Poems, books, music, writing. We both have a unconditional love for it," she wrote. "Whos going to introduce me to movies like Purple Rain and songs like The Beautiful Ones now? Im hoping I will find some because you trained me so well."
You can read the full letter below, but warningyou'll need tissues:
Daddy,
Let me start by saying how much I love you and how much you mean to me. You are my idol, someone Ive always looked up to. You were always there for me. You pushed me forward every day, and you still do.
Whenever I cry or feel like theres no way I can go on, I hear your voice, Dont sit worrying peanut. Worry is a waste of time, Im ok.
I always took what you said to heart. Probably because everything you said was so smart.
Every time you came home from tour you spent all your hours with us. No matter how tired you were, how many time zones you traveled, you were there for us.
Whenever I was sick you would take care of me. You would cuddle with me, hug me, kiss me. You didnt care about getting sick. You would stay up all night to make sure my fever went down. And if it didnt, you would wake me up and give me my medicine. I would open my eyes, see you, and feel better.
I have so many memories with you but one of my favorite ones was earlier this year when I was jetlagged and we watched Purple Rain . We were staying at the BHH and you came into my room when I was trying to find a movie to watch.
How about Purple Rain? you said. I always trusted your judgement. I put it on and immediately fell in love! We then got to your favorite song, The Beautiful Ones.
This song is so special it doesnt even belong in a genre. When I was in my twenties, I saw this in the theatre and some guy started cracking up laughing at this scene and song. It got me really mad, you said.
I fell in love with the song too and listened to it on repeat.
Our special connection was always the arts. Poems, books, music, writing. We both have a unconditional love for it.
Whos going to introduce me to movies like Purple Rain and songs like The Beautiful Ones now? Im hoping I will find some because you trained me so well.
I know you are still here, and the warmth I feel beneath the cold, is you.
YOU ARE THE BEST FATHER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. And I know, that if this wasnt an accident, youd still be cuddling with me watching Purple Rain.
I love you and miss you so, Daddy. You deserve your own day to be celebrated because you are the best dad anyone could ever have. Happy Fathers Day!
Love,
Your Baby Toni
