George Floyd was at his daughter Gianna Floyd's side from the moment she let her first cry out into the world.
Now Gianna feels a void with her father gone. In an interview with"Good Morning America," she said she wants people to know"kinda that I miss him."Washington described Floyd as a provider that did everything for their daughter. "I watched it only for a moment," Washington said of the bystander video showing Floyd’s death."I couldn't believe that somebody was on him like that. And then in that moment, you know, because I loved him so much I wanted to help him or I wish I could’ve been there to help him. And just hearing him begging for his life."
“She doesn’t know what happened. I told her Daddy died because he couldn’t breathe,” Washington said.
