DARK SECRETS: Cobain s daughter writes loving tribute | Rare Historical Photos

When Kurt Cobain died on April 5, 1994, Frances Bean — his only child with wife Courtney Love — was still in diapers. On the 30th anniversary of the Nirvana lead's passing, she looks back on a life spent without him in a loving tribute posted to Instagram, writing, "I wish I could've known my dad."

Sharing several photos of herself as a baby on their last days together before his passing, as well as a few of her dad when he was just a young boy, she remembers how Kurt's mom, Wendy, would often press her hands to her cheeks and say, with a lulling sadness, “you have his hands," breathing them in as if it were her only chance to hold him just a little bit closer.
