The actress explained that as she continues to grow older, the moments she once shared with her father remain frozen in time. "The longer my life goes on, the more the moments we shared seem to shrink into tiny fragments of my whole life. And that's what breaks me. As I keep living, as I grow older, the moments I once had with him, don't grow with me. They stay the same," she said.

Andi went on to express her longing for her dad to witness the milestones she has achieved over the years. "I wish he could've seen me through all my life's milestones, all the little victories and struggles. I know he would've been proud of me for, and most of all, his grandkids, that I know he would be so proud of," she wrote online, saying her dad would've been proud of his grandkids too.
