Remembering Her Dad

"To anyone afraid to love, Unconditional love is the greatest of gifts," Lara wrote in the caption.

Lara also shared a piece of advice to viewers: "Love completely and be kind," adding, "Of all the lessons he taught me, these feel the biggest."

"My sweet husband. After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time," she wrote in the caption. "But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH. I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last 6 years. We had that time to make each other the happiest we’d ever been and change each other’s lives forever. I got to be the one to love him and cherish him. He deserves all the love. Every ounce of it. Because that’s how amazing Bob was. He was love. If you were in his life you KNEW he loved you. He never missed an opportunity to tell you."

She added, "Most importantly. I have no regrets. We loved each other so damn much and told each other 500 times every day. Constantly. I know how much he loved me until the very last moment and he knew the same. I’m so grateful for that. Not everyone gets that."
