Diane Keaton's daughter Dexter Keaton White took to Instagram Sunday to mark the one-year memorial of the star's death at 79 following a battle with bacterial pneumonia.
Dexter, 30, shared a black-and-white picture with the late Oscar-winner from her wedding in 2021 to Jordan White in the tribute.
'One year without you, mom,' Dexter said. 'It somehow feels like yesterday and forever ago all at once.
'I’m still trying to get used to a world where I can’t call you, have you there for a hug, or go on adventures with you.'
Dexter said that it was 'the everyday moments that remind' her 'just how much' she wished her late mother was 'still here.'
Dexter ended the emotional post in saying, 'I love you and I miss you. Always.'

The late star of films such as Annie Hall, The Godfather and The First Wives Club had adopted Dexter in 1996 and her brother Duke, 25, in 2001.
The daughter of the late star has posted multiple online memorials to Keaton in the year since her passing.
In May, she remembered her late parent with an emotional post with a series of photos of the two.
'First Mother’s Day without you,' Dexter said. 'I miss you more than words can say. Missing her voice, her hugs, her presence, and everything that made her home. I love you, Mom.'
Dexter earlier this year took to Instagram to mark the date that would have been Keaton's 80th birthday.
On January 5, Dexter posted a shot of her with the late star posed in front of an ocean, writing, 'I miss you, mom.'
Dexter in the post added an image of a tattoo she got in the wake of her mother's passing.
To commemorate Mother's Day in 2014, Dexter took to Instagram with a post praising Keaton as 'a strong, beautiful, and talented woman.'
She added, 'I couldn't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. I love you!'
Keaton in 2008 spoke with Ladies' Home Journal about parenting, telling the publication that she never thought she 'was ever going to be prepared to be a mother.'

She said that 'motherhood was not an urge I couldn't resist,' adding, 'It was more like a thought I'd been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in.'
Keaton left behind an amazing legacy in Hollywood, with some of her performances in the 1970s hailed as the decade's best. They included the titular role in the 1977 comedy Annie Hall, which was written and directed by Woody Allen, who she collaborated with on a number of memorable projects.
Keaton in 1978 would claim the Best Actress in a Leading Role award for her work in Annie Hall, her first of four lifetime nominations.
She would also receive nods for her work in movies such as 1981's Reds, 1996's Marvin’s Room and 2003's Something’s Gotta Give.
Other notable movies Keaton performed in throughout her decades-long career included 1987's Baby Boom; 1996's The First Wives Club; and the Father of the Bride films in 1991 and 1995.
