Demi Lovato remembers father on one year anniversary of his death

'Neon Lights' beauty Demi Lovato suffered a great loss one year ago after her father, Patrick, died and she took to her official Twitter page last night to pay her respects. 

Writing on the social networking site (June 20), the songstress explained that she finds peace in the fact that he's no longer suffering, but misses him every day:

"Can't believe it's already been a year.. Wish I could've hugged you one last time.. RIP Daddy, I love you. My dad suffered from severe mental illness so at least there's peace in knowing he's not suffering anymore."

She also shared a photo collage of herself with her late father, which can be seen above left. 

Earlier this week, meanwhile, Lovato spoke out about taking the time to appreciate the little things in her life and told Ryan Seacrest: "If you don’t, you’re wasting a perfect opportunity to sit back and enjoy everything you’ve been working on, for me, 15 years of my life."
