Sadly, after his father's passing last week, Dwayne Johnson opened up in an emotional, candid, Instagram video, explaining how he feels about his loss and sharing the cause of death.
Shortly after his death, Dwayne shared a video with a caption to honor his dad.
"I was the boy sitting in the seats, watching and adoring you, my hero from afar. The boy you raised to always be proud of our cultures and proud of who and what I am."
"Who then grew to become a man realizing you had other deeply complicated sides that needed to be held and understood."
"Grateful you gave me life’s invaluable lessons."
"I'm in pain. But we both know it’s just pain and it’ll pass. Now I’ll carry your mana and work ethic with me, as it’s time to move on because I have my family to feed and work to accomplish."
"Hard to express how deeply grateful I am for all your love, mana & support," he captioned the video. "Go hug your loved ones hard, while you still can."
"Thank you. My heart is so full of gratitude."
"You have lifted my spirits," he added.
"I'd give anything right now to give him a big ol' hug and a big ol' kiss before he crossed over and just say thank you and I love you and I respect you."
"But such is life, as many of you know, based on the messages that you have shared with me, that many of you understand this pain when you lose a parent."
"He had not been feeling well, had been battling a cold and infection," he revealed.
"It was a big ol' blood clot that broke free, traveled up his body, and went right to his lung, clotted his lung".
He then explained that he has been having a tough time writing his father's eulogy that he will deliver at the funeral tomorrow.
"But I do have my tequila and I can hear him now, 'Good, that's the way you've got to do it.'"
Sending love and our deepest condolences to Dwayne for his loss.
