Just two days after announcing the birth of his newborn son, Robin Thicke honored his late father, Alan Thicke, on the fourth anniversary of his death.

The "Blurred Lines" singer, 43, took to Instagram to mark the somber occasion and expressed how much he misses his dad.

"Four years ago today, on December 13, 2016, my beloved Father passed away," Thicke wrote alongside a photo of him sleeping next to his latest bundle of joy, son Luca Patrick Thicke. "As I wake up next to this little guy [on] his first night home, I miss my father so much, but I feel his love in my heart every time I kiss my babies on the head the same way he would kiss me."

"I’m crying a little right now. Partly because I’m sad you’re not here, but mostly because I’m happy that I had you to love me, guide me, and show me the way," he continued. "I hope I make you proud. I miss you every day. Thank you Dad," he concluded.
