Sharing a video of Ron talking about raising her in the Pacific Northwest, Chrissy wrote: "All the same things happened. Hurried shower.
"Picked up stuffing from the dog toys. Answered some emails. Avoided some. Laughed with my friends and put on a pretty dress for a friend's birthday. Took a video. How cute is this dress!
"And then my dad just like…f***ing died."
Chrissy admitted she had spent years trying to prepare herself for the inevitable because Ron had always been an "old dad," but said the reality of the moment overwhelmed her.
"I thought that since we talk about it and I've come to terms with him always having been an 'old dad' that I wouldn't have fallen to the ground the way I did," she wrote.
"I've thought about this phone call for years. I'll be ready."
The mom-of-four said she had written her father a letter just months ago, telling him how grateful she was and how deeply she loved him.

She also shared footage on Instagram Stories showing Ron reading the letter while sitting in an armchair as she played with one of her children.
"If you didn't know my dad, my dad hated nearly everything in the world that wasn't a bass guitar, swing dancing, wood carving, animals, YouTube, or his family," Chrissy wrote.
"I have hundreds and hundreds of videos of him just being mad at things he isn't even doing, watching, or eating. They make me so happy now."
"God I love you so much. I will talk to you every night. Thank you for being such a great dad."
"Until we complain again."
Chrissy's husband, John Legend, also shared a tribute in the comments.
"We love you so much Papa Ron," he wrote.
"I'm so glad you got to spend so much time with your grandbabies. I loved seeing you beam with pride at the beautiful family you helped create."
