It has been a little over a year since the tragic death of Naya Rivera, and she’s still deeply missed.
Rivera’s ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, wrote an emotional tribute to her on his Instagram account Saturday, which included an update on the couple’s 5-year-old son Josey Hollis.
“Today…A year ago we laid you to rest. I still can’t believe it,” he began the caption. “The year has flown by, so fast that it doesn’t seem like it’s been a year at all. Our boy has grown so much. He’s such an explorer, so inquisitive. He’s sweet, so funny, and his laugh always lights up the room. He’s an intuitive soul to say the least. To know him is to love him, everyone that meets him is always smiling. He’s doing ok. He’s such a resilient strong kid. He misses you but knows he’ll see you again, and the invisible string is something that’s helped us out during this ever-evolving transition of your time with us on earth that was unfairly & for reasons we’ll never understand cut short…too soon…”
Rivera, 33, went missing while swimming in Lake Piru in Ventura County, California. She went out on the lake that day with her son Josey and had rented a boat. Authorities say she drowned. It took several days for her body to be recovered from the water.
“July will probably always be a strange and difficult month in the years that are hopefully plentiful in the future…still hard to see photos, still haven’t been able to read or watch anything…as the years go by strength will be on my side as I will share the memories with what is the brightest star of your legacy left on this earth, our beautiful son, Josey,” Dorsey continued.
“Fly high, Rest In Peace, knowing he’s doing ok…he’s being raised right, and he’s got a lot of family and people around him that love him, and you,” Dorsey shared.
Dorsey offered support to other families who may be mourning the loss of a loved one. “For everyone out there that’s gone through similar events of loss…you know there’s not really any words that make it better…we know some days are better than others…but know our hearts and energy are with you,” he concluded. “We keep going, because that’s all we can do while being as strong as we can be.”
