Rihanna Shares Touching Moment With Grandfather

rihanna grandfatherRihanna may be known as “Bad Gal RiRi” to her fans, but when she’s home in Barbados with her family she turns to mush. The pop star spent several days with family and friends during a long stop over on her Diamond’s World Tour. Over the weekend, Rihanna hosted a party for her widowed grandfather Bravo, and shared some photos on Instagram along with a touching message,

“Happy Birthday Grandfadda Bravo!!!!! You are so special to all of us!!! If it wasn’t for you buying out the whole tray of mangoes from gran gran Dolly that one day you got off your ship in Guyana, and charmed her with that smile laced with a gold cap, NONE of us would be here!! So Im saying a special thanks to you for having the heart of a Lion, my Scorpio King, Legend!!! They will never know what it took for you to get us here!! I love you way past unconditional!!! You’re true az steel BRAVO!!!! #BirthdayBoy”

The We Found Love singer was also very close to her grandmother Dolly who passed away last summer after a battle with cancer. This past June, Rihanna shared photos and a message to her grandmother on the one year anniversary of her death,

“Still you never left… I can still remember your laugh, and I miss it, I miss the sound of your voice, your beautiful hands, the way you danced and got so happy when you heard music, I miss doing your makeup and taking your pictures, I miss the way you looked right at me, and I miss looking back at you, that proud look on your face!

Never did I think it could be this soon but I’m happy you’re in heaven, laughing and dancing with the angels! Dolly you are my precious angel, I love you beyond what words can describe!

I just miss you Gran Gran! #Dolly #FirstAnniversary”

Sweet.
