Michelle and Ehra Madrigal's father passes away

It's been a sad week for the Madrigals. Their father passed away on March 5 after he was hospitalized due to kidney and liver complications early February.

Ehra announced the despairing news on Instagram Thursday by posting a series of family photos.

In the caption she dedicated a message for her father.

"It’s been 3 days since you passed away, daddy. para lang akong lumulutang. seeing you lifeless in your hospital bed, choosing your casket and all feels like it was just in a bad dream. i hope you know how much i love you! if i can only keep you alive a little longer, i would... but i guess god took you away from us already so you won’t have to suffer anymore, mahal na mahal kita, daddy!!! iniisip ko pa lang na hindi na kita makaka-usap at mayayakap, ang hirap hirap na. i don’t know how i’ll get through this but i’ll continue praying for more strength," she wrote.

Tonight will be his last night in Manila before they transfer his remains to Bulacan.

"It’ll be your last night later in manila before we transfer you to bulacan so we’ll celebrate you!!! ‘till we dance together in heaven again! i love you with all my heart!!! paki-kamusta na lang din po kami sa ama at ina!," she continued.
