Lisa Marie Presley is paying tribute to her late son Benjamin Keough on the second anniversary of his passing. She shared a heartbreaking message on Instagram with a lovely picture.
The picture is of a matching tattoo that she got with her son on Mother's day. She wrote in the caption, "Several years ago, on Mother's Day, my son and I got these matching tattoos on our feet." She further added, "It’s a Celtic eternity knot. Symbolizing that we will be connected eternally. We carefully picked it to represent our eternal love and our eternal bond.💔😞"
Riley Keough also paid tribute to her brother on Tuesday, by posting a photo with Benjamin on Instagram. She wrote on Instagram, "Not an hour goes by where I don’t think of you and miss you. It’s been two years today since you left and I still can’t believe you’re not here. You are so loved my Ben Ben. ❤️💫🍣"
Benjamin died by suicide in 2020 while he was only 27 years old, per TMZ. He and Riley are Elvis Presley's grandchildren. Presley, 54, is also the mother of twin girls Finley and Harper, both 13 years old, per PEOPLE.
Riley posted on Benjamin's birthday on Instagram last October. She wrote in the caption, "I miss you all day every day my best friend. We spent my 29th birthday just the two of us and it was one of the best days we shared together. I think this photo was the day after but close enough. Happy Birthday wherever you are baby brother."
Her brother's death was extremely hard on Riley, who told New York Times last year, "The first four or five months, I couldn't get out of bed. I was totally debilitated. I couldn't talk for two weeks. It's very complicated for our minds to put that somewhere because it's so outrageous."
Roger Widynowski, Presley's representative told PEOPLE at the time of her son's death, that "she is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life."
Presley posted a poster of Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film, Elvis, on May 15th. She wrote in the caption, " I am and will forever be mourning the loss of my son. Navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole." She writes that it, "breaks my heart that my son isn’t here," to see the film which portrays the life of her late father, Elvis Presley.
