Jasmine Curtis-Smith's Birthday Message to Her Late Dad Will Break Your Heart: 'I Miss You in the Quiet Moments'
Jasmine Curtis-Smith celebrated what would have been her father James Curtis Smith's birthday with a heartfelt Instagram post that had fans — and her famous sister Anne Curtis — reaching for the tissue box.
'Happy birthday, Dad. Every drive to your place was always worth it because it ended in the warmth and safety of your embrace,' Jasmine wrote alongside photos of them together. 'I miss you in the quiet moments, in the long roads, in the small things.'
She ended with a touching image of the man she called the family's 'Gentle Giant': 'But I hope wherever you are, you've got your beer in a basong may yelo.' It's the kind of small, specific detail that makes grief feel real — you don't just miss the big moments, you miss the everyday rituals.
Anne Curtis responded simply in the comments: 'Miss him so much,' accompanied by sad face emojis. The sisters announced their father's passing in January 2026. Just last week, Jasmine had publicly admitted she's still in the middle of grieving the loss.
The post resonated deeply with fans who flooded the comments with messages of support and shared their own stories of losing parents. It's a reminder that even celebrities go through the same heartbreaks as everyone else — and that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is share your grief publicly. Happy birthday sa langit, James.
