Kaitlin Olson pens emotional tribute after personal loss

Kaitlin Olson is suffering from a major heartbreak in the wake of the death of her “forever favorite person.”

On Monday, May 18, the High Potential star shared that her father, Don Olson, has passed away.

In the wake of his passing she penned an emotional and heartfelt tribute for her father alongside a series of photos.

While taking a trip down the memory lane with some throwback photos of the father daughter duo and some of the father’s pictures from his younger days the Hacks actress wrote, “Honestly it feels a little gross to bring this to social media. It’s too fragile and too private.”

She continued, “But nothing feels more wrong than to just move on with life as if the worst thing in the world didn’t happen. As if everything that matters didn’t just suddenly end.”

“My dad died,” the Coyote Ugly actress went on to spill her heart out in the caption. “My first love, my first protector and my forever favorite person. He fought so hard and so long to stay with us.”

“I hate words right now. None are good enough to describe who he was. The luckiest thing to happen to me in this lifetime was getting him as my dad,” she added. “Maybe the second was the gift of holding him on his way out. I love you, daddy. I will keep all my promises. Just like you.”

In her post, the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star included a recent selfie with her dad, a few throwbacks of her spending time with him as a kid, a selfie of him with her husband Rob Mac and a photo of her holding his hand.
