In her deeply moving post, the 32-year-old shared a personal photo of herself as a child with her famous dad, which is sure to delight fans (via Page Six). But her caption is what will have everyone hugging those closest to them. "To anyone afraid to love, Unconditional love is the greatest of gifts," Lara wrote.

"My dad loved with everything he had," she continued. "He had so many reasons to be scared to love. So many loved ones kept dropping the body." She was likely referring in part to Saget's siblings, who both passed away young according to The Sun.
