It has been more than five decades since bullets felled the Kennedy brothers from the guns of assassins that ended their political aspirations and left a void in their families.

To mark the 53rd anniversary of his tragic death, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter Kerry Kennedy shared an unseen picture of her and her dad alongside a touching tribute on her Instagram.

Kerry, the daughter of the late senator and Ethel, started her tribute with a famous quote from Armenian poet Siamanto before confessing how much she misses her dad every day.

The 61-year-old also thanked photographer Harry Benson, who captured the moment. She wrote on the post, "Missing my dad every day. And grateful to all those who seek the fruitful good. Special thanks to Harry Benson for this photo and to Gigi for making it happen!"
