No matter how long has passed, a woman will always remember her dad. Eiza Gonzalez pays tribute to her dad in a sweet post from her childhood. The sweet picture reveals a young Eiza looking at her dad with doe-eyes. “Happy birthday daddy. I miss you every day of my life,” shared the 30-year-old actress on the post. Eiza’s dad passed away in a motorcycle accident when she was twelve. Throughout her life, the Mexican actress has shared her grief experience and how her dad’s passing turned her into a compulsive eater. “Between the ages of 15 and 20 was very hard for me because I used to eat compulsively. It took me a long time to decipher that it was all happening because I was depressed after my dad died. And it was very hard for me but I changed my eating habits and began eating healthier and I began taking care of myself in all areas. It took me 5 years to get out of depression and accept my loss,” revealed the actress in a previous post.

In addition, Eiza has expressed the importance of emotional support and how eating healthier has improved all areas in her life.
