Pink shared a heartfelt tribute to her father, Jim Moore, while marking the second anniversary of his death, after a battle with prostate cancer, on Instagram.
As she remembered her dad’s legacy, the So What singer, 43, shared an adorable throwback video of him with her six-year-old son Jameson, who was just a toddler in the footage.
‘I miss you, Dad. The kids do too. Sometimes I hate how time flies. Sometimes I hate how we have to be funny in order to avoid the hurt,’ she captioned the recording.
The three-time Grammy winner continued: ‘Today it isn’t funny. Today it just hurts. I’m glad you don’t anymore though. You don’t hurt.’
The mother-of-two went on to express that he ‘still getting out of line’ and ‘singing’ in Heaven.

‘I hope you’re making everyone laugh,’ she concluded. I hope you feel this love ❤️ gone but not forgotten, Daddy Sir.’
Her post comes six months after she performed her song, When I Get There, to honor Moore during an appearance on The Late With Stephen Colbert on CBS.
The emotional track’s lyrics reminisce about her father’s sense of humor as she asks if there’s ‘a bar up there where you’ve got a favorite chair.’
When asked why she enlisted Amy Wadge and David Hodges to write the song by Colbert, Pink opened up about the difficulties of losing a parent.
‘When you lose a parent, it feels like a suitcase you will be unpacking for the rest of your life, and I have not pulled mine out from under the bed yet,’ she explained.
During the interview, the pop star said her father said he would come back as a ‘maybe a bird of flight’ or ‘cannibal chipmunk.’
While she thought, at the time, it was the ‘morphine talking,’ the performer said after his passing on a family camping trip that she saw a chipmunk.
She went on to tell her kids not to ‘go near that chipmunk.’

‘He wrote a song about forty years ago in Vietnam,’ she said. ‘And I think it’s important today because it’s a soldier’s cry and we’re producing them by the thousands. And tonight this is a really special evening because the first time my dad’s ever performed in front of a group is going to be right now.’
Upon inviting him on stage, Pink raved: ‘Can we get my favorite person in the whole world out here, tonight? My daddy, Mr. Jim Moore. Can we give him lots of love?’
