Scream Queens actress Billie Lourd marked the ninth anniversary of the death of her mother, Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher, with a loving Instagram post.
Billie said the snapshots were taken in the same room, 25 years apart.
"This joy wouldn't be possible without my mom. This joy only exists because she existed. So even though she is not physically part of this joy, she is part of the reason for it. Even though she is not alive she lives on through this joy," Billie wrote.
"My grief takes on many shapes -- today, right now in this moment, that shape is this joy I get to experience watching my kids with my dad. It could and will change shapes multiple times throughout this day because grief is never just one thing but right now I am relishing in this bittersweet grieful joy," she added. "As my mom wisely said, 'Nothing is ever really over. Just over there.' My mombys life isnt really over. Just over there -- in my kids and in this joy I'm able to experience because of her. Thank you momby. I will never stop missing you."
