Alan Thicke‘s family is remembering the late actor on the one-year anniversary of his death.

On Wednesday, the Growing Pains star’s youngest son, Carter Thicke, and wife, Tanya Callau Thicke, each took to social media to pay tribute to the family patriarch, who died Dec. 13, 2016 at the age of 69.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. Some days it feels like it was only yesterday and other days it feels like its been years,” Carter, 20, began a heartfelt tweet, which accompanied a throwback photo of his father holding him as a young child.

“Nothing can really describe the loss, but I feel you here everyday in my life. I miss my best friend and partner in crime,” Carter continued. “I love you Pops.”

Exactly one year ago, Carter — his mother Gina Tolleson was married to Alan from 1994-99 — was playing hockey with his father at Pickwick Gardens skating rink in Burbank, California, when Alan collapsed. He died of a “ruptured aorta” in a hospital later that day.

Tanya, who married Alan on May 7, 2005, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, also tweeted a touching tribute in honor of her husband.

“It’s been 1 year today – how I miss my best friend, husband, best companion in all things. The hole in my heart has yet to heal, but I know you are still with me,” wrote Tanya, who also shared a photo of the couple on his family’s Carpinteria ranch.

“I can’t wait to see the path god has planned for me,” Tanya, 41, continued. “One day we will be reunited. I love you H ~always & forever , W.”

In an interview with Access Hollywood at the end of October, Tanya admitted that she “didn’t want to live” in the wake of his death.

“I’m ashamed to admit it, but at one point I didn’t want to live — I really didn’t,” she told Kit Hoover and Natalie Morales. “And if I didn’t have my family and my friends to listen to me and to hold my hand and to give me the love, the nurturing that I needed, I wouldn’t be standing here in front of you right now.”

Of the things she misses most about Alan, Tanya said, “I miss his sense of humor. I miss his smell. I miss his touch. I miss him telling me how beautiful I am every day.”

Although she is mourning the loss of her husband, she continues to keep his presence alive in their home.

“He left his glasses here that morning and they’re still here. I refuse to move them,” she said of the reading glasses that sit on his bedside table. “What I did keep here in the bathroom are all his colognes. His colognes are all here and what I do sometimes, when I just want to smell him, I’ll just spray his pillow and I’ll go to bed. And believe it or not, that’s kind of soothing for me.”
