The former View co-host, 37, shared a photo on Wednesday to Instagram of herself with the politician, who died at 81 on Aug. 25, 2018, after a lengthy treatment for brain cancer.

Last month, Meghan reminisced about her father when reflecting on her experience with pregnancy loss.
In an episode of PEOPLE's Me Becoming Mom podcast, she spoke candidly about her previous miscarriage. "It's still emotional. I still think of it as the baby I could've had. It's very sad," she told host Zo? Ruderman, Head of Digital at PEOPLE.

"The only thing that gives me peace and solace... I feel like that child is with my dad in the afterlife or in heaven. And for whatever reason, it wasn't meant to be here at that time," she explained. "But it's very hard."
"I found it debilitating. I found it mentally, emotionally, physically debilitating," McCain adds of her miscarriage, which she first publicly revealed in a New York Times op-ed in July 2019.
"I found the process of having a miscarriage, like the physical process of it, grueling. And then having to have a D&C afterward, horrific."

McCain, who is now mom to 16-month-old daughter Liberty Sage with husband Ben Domenech, shared in the NYT op-ed that she had been pregnant with a daughter but subsequently suffered a miscarriage.
She called the loss a "horrendous experience" at the time, adding that she "would not wish it upon anyone."
More than a year later, in September 2020, McCain and Domenech welcomed their first baby together.
