Frances Bean Cobain is honoring her father, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, 30 years after his untimely death.

In a heartbreaking and moving post on Instagram, the belated rocker's daughter shared a series of photos of her father, including a picture of his hands, her dad as a child, and the last pictures Cobain took with his daughter Frances before he died.

"30 years ago my dad’s life ended. The 2nd & 3rd photo capture the last time we were together while he was still alive," Frances captioned the post. "His mom Wendy would often press my hands to her cheeks & say, with a lulling sadness, 'you have his hands.' She would breathe them in as if it were her only chance to hold him just a little bit closer, frozen in time. I hope she’s holding his hands wherever they are."

The daughter of Cobain and Hole rocker Courtney love went on to write that "in the last 30 years my ideas around loss have been in a continuous state of metamorphosing. "
