    “My father was nocturnal his entire adult life,” she began in an Instagram post THURSDAY. “He took jazz hours in high school and never looked back.

    “When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to look for him. Without a doubt, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (the old-fashioned way, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me back to bed. He smiled and hugged me while he continued to work… there was no safer place in the world for me.
