Everyone in the photo has a wide grin on their face while two of the girls plant kisses on either of Giacinto's cheeks with a birthday cake on the table in front of them.
"At this trying time I’m graciously asking for any extra prayers, good vibes, love....please send my fathers way," she wrote in the caption. "My father is struggling and my girls and I need him, we need his love, his presence & his strength."
