Australia-based content creator Jeraldine Blackman shared heartbreaking news after her biological father passed away on December 25, Christmas Day.

In a Facebook post published on December 27, Jeraldine opened up about her grief, revealing that she had only reunited with her father in July after more than 20 years of not seeing each other. His passing, she shared, left her with deep pain and unanswered emotions.

Alongside her post, Jeraldine wrote, “This was so hard to share! I’m so hurt so much and I have so many regrets in life! I wish I cuddled him longer and I wish I said I love you to him.”

She also expressed her sorrow over not having had the chance to truly build memories with him, sharing her wish that she had been able to get to know her father better before his passing.
