In the caption she wrote: "A letter to my Mother on what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary! I love you so much! @sharonosbourne daddy is always with us for love is eternal @ozzyosbourne."‌Sharing what the letter said, Kelly wrote: "My Dearest Mummy. Today feels different. A day that was once filled with celebration now carries a quiet ache. This is your first wedding anniversary without Daddy by your side, and I can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel."‌It continued: "There are some dates that remind us just how deeply we have loved, and today is one of them. I hope you know that love like yours doesn't end when a life does. It changes shape. It becomes the warmth of the sun on your face when you need comfort, the memories that make you smile through tears, the quiet moments when you know that he's near. Daddy may no longer walk beside you, but he will never stop walking with you."Kelly said: "I often find myself imagining him looking down on you with that magical smile, the one that held so much pride and so much love. I know he would want you to see yourself through his eyes: resilient, compassionate, courageous, and endlessly loving.‌"Every day since he left, you've had to learn how to carry both grief and hope in the same heart, and somehow, you've continued to do it with extraordinary grace. He would be so incredibly proud of the woman you are becoming. Not because you've forgotten him, but because you've found a way to keep living while carrying him with you. That takes a strength few people ever truly understand."She urged: "Please remember that although today reminds us of what has changed, it can never take away what you and Dady built together. A lifetime of love cannot be erased by death. It lives on in every story we tell, every lesson he taught us, every laugh we still hear in our memories, and in the family that continues to grow because of the love you both created."‌Talking about her own child - three-year-old son Sidney, who she shares with Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson - Kelly shared: "Sidney and I love you more than words could ever hold. He may not fully understand today, but he already knows what it feels like to be wrapped in your love, and one day he will know just how lucky he is to have a nana whose heart has loved so deeply."As you walk through every first, every anniversary, every birthday, every Christmas, and every milestone that now feels different without Daddy, please never forget that you do not walk them alone. We are here. We will hold your hand when the days feel too heavy, celebrate your victories, sit with you in the sadness, and remind you that whenever you need reminding that love is still all around you."Kelly ended the post by saying "Daddy's greatest legacy wasn't simply the life he lived. It was the love he gave, the family he helped create, and the remarkable woman that he adored. That woman is you.‌"So today, alongside the tears, I hope you can also feel the gentleness of his love surrounding you. I hope you can hear him whispering that he's still so proud of you, still cheering you on, still loving you with all that he has."And while we miss him beyond measure, we will never stop making sure you know how deeply you are loved too. Happy Anniversary to a love story that even heaven could never end. With all my love, and all of Baby Sidney's, too."Fans were quick to comment underneath with messages of support and their own experiences of grief. One wrote: "I've got goosebumps all over my body. What a beautiful letter Kelly. Your dad is always, always with you." Another said: "Sending you all so much love today, especially mama @sharonosbourne."‌A third said: "I am grateful to see this post. I lost my dad almost 4 weeks ago. Today would be his anniversary as well. Your words are simply beautiful." While a fourth said: "Oh Kelly, you are the sweetest! My dad passed 2 months exactly after their 50th anniversary. I would think of mum and wonder how she was getting through it. I was devastated at losing my dad but she lost her soul mate and best friend."Sharon didn't appear to pay tribute to late husband Ozzy over on her own Instagram.
