“Papa, I Miss You”: Shaquille O’Neal’s Daughter Sad on Father’s Day Due to Major Missing

Many NBA fathers got special wishes from their kids today. Celebrating the day of their ‘papa’, Shaquille O’Neal got a shoutout from all his kids. His youngest daughter, Me’arah O’Neal, shared some adorable pictures beside her dad. But Shaq isn’t the only father figure in her life. There was one person she dearly missed, someone very close to her heart, and couldn’t help but call for him on Father’s Day.

Referencing the person as ‘papa’, the 17-year-old shared a series of memories remembering him on the special occasion. She also pinned down an emotional message for the ‘soldier’.

It was only last year in March that Shaunie Henderson announced the heartbreaking news of her father’s unexpected passing. Calling him the ‘first man she ever loved’, the Basketball Wives star shared a heartwarming message for him. She vowed to continue making him proud as he left her with a life full of wonderful memories. Heartbreakingly, he even missed out on the chance to walk his daughter down the aisle. As it turns out, the O’Neal clan was extremely close to Shaunie’s father as well. Me’arah, in particular, shared several pictures of her grandfather as she recollected their times together.

In the Instagram story she wrote, “Happy Father’s Day Papa, I miss you down here soldier.” The attached image was of the man himself flicking the finger, posing rather powerfully. In the following stories, the 17-year-old shared family pictures with her grandfather. Eventually, there was a picture from her childhood, with his afro in full glory.

Diverting away from the emotional stories, she also wished her stepfather Keion Henderson on Father’s Day, calling him a ‘bestie’. Me’arah O’Neal might have a lot of expectations bestowed upon her. However, she has charismatic and strong humans surrounding her, inspiring her to achieve greatness each day.

Even though her ‘papa’ isn’t here to watch her, the 17-year-old will always have him in her heart.
