Ana Navarro posts photo of her father

Navarro is over the moon as her father is visiting her in Miami from Nicaragua. The political analyst shared on Instagram a post with a photo of her father holding her dog ChaCha. With her dad visiting her, Navarro said she plans to give him all the attention and asks her fans to do the same with their loved ones.

“Losing my mom, has made me want to smother my dad with love and attention,” Navarro shared on Instagram. “@chacha_cardenas and I are over the moon that he is back in Miami to visit his girls. If your lucky enough to have your parent(s) in your life, don’t take it for granted.”

It wasn’t long before fans weighed in and shared their thoughts on the importance of family.

“You are blessed to have your Dad. My parents have been gone for a couple of decades. I miss them every day,” a fan replied.

“What a cutie he is. Looks like ChaCha is happy to see her grandpa too. Enjoy every minute Ana,” a follower added.

“He looks great! Enjoy your visit with your dad!” an Instagram user said.

“Enjoy every second with him. I’m happy for you both that he is back with you,” another fan mentioned.

“Spend as much time with him you have been given the great gift of having him and spending time with him treasure them, l miss my mum every day,” another follower commented.

“Ana enjoy every moment you have with your dad,” another Instagram user said.

Ana Navarro remembers her mother

Soon after Navarro’s mom died, her father tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) which made it impossible for him to fly to Miami. Navarro’s dad was supposed to spend the holidays with her and mourn her mother’s death together but that didn’t end up happening. Luckily, Navarro’s father was able to test negative for New Year’s Day and they had a lovely reunion.

Weeks later, Navarro remembered her mother a month after losing her and dedicated a touching Instagram post full of emotion.

“My mom has been gone a month today,” Navarro shared on Jan. 14. “Somebody -I don’t know who- sent me these pillows with pictures of my beautiful mamma. There was no card. I hope whomever it was, sees this so I can say, ‘thank you.’ My dad slept with one of the pillows next to him the entire time he was here. He took one with him to Nicaragua and left the other in his room in my house for when he comes back. Said it made him feel closer to her.”
