Farrah Abraham paid tribute to her late boyfriend, Derek Underwood, on Monday, visiting his grave with the couple's daughter, Sophia.

Underwood passed away in a car crash in 2008 one month before Sophia was born, and while the pair weren't speaking at the time of Underwood's death, Abraham wrote in her book My Teenage Dream Ended that Underwood was "my first love, my only true love," E! News shares.

To honor him on his birthday, Abraham shared a photo of her ex's grave adorned with flowers, a stuffed animal and a baseball bat.

"Happy Birthday Daddy Derek! We all love you so much thank you for always watching over us," she wrote.

Abraham wrote in her book that she hopes the visits will provide some understanding for her daughter.

"Every year, we go to Derek's grave site," she said. "We take pictures, we record it, and I have a whole baby box for Sophia with letters and pictures telling how and why things happened, and why I'm here today alone."
