She wrote, “Today is the 13th death anniversary of my dad. Pancho was taking a nap and this one wasn't sleepy at all so I decided to go on a one-on-one date with him to offer flowers to his Lolo Pop.

“We also gave flowers to his Ate Luna who he's only visiting for the 2nd time. His last time here was when he was 6 months old in March 2020. We prayed for them and walked around the cemetery until his cheeks turned pink.

“You're always in our hearts, our angels.”

On Instagram stories, Saab also shared some of her family's throwback photos to honor her beloved dad.
