Ivanka Trump is remembering her late mother, Ivana Trump, on what would have been her 75th birthday.

On Instagram, Ivanka, 42, shared a throwback image of her mother wearing a captain's costume and appearing to sail a ship.

"Imagining you sailing through the heavens guided by the stars… today would have been your 75th birthday," Ivanka wrote in the caption.

She continued: "We raise our sails in your honor, Mom, navigating through life with the compass of your love and intrepid spirit. We miss and love you."

Ivana — who also shared children Donald Jr. and Eric with ex-husband Donald Trump — died at her New York City home on July 14, 2022, at the age of 73.

On the first anniversary of her death, a source told PEOPLE that Ivanka was leaning on her husband and children amid continued grief.

“Ivanka is spending precious time with her husband and her children, doing what she loves most: being a mother," a source told PEOPLE in July. "She feels there is no better way to honor her late mother than to nurture and love on her own children."

Since her mother's death, Ivanka has consciously focused on her family, opting to separate herself from politics and instead prioritize time with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children: Arabella Rose, 12; Joseph Frederick, 10; and Theodore James, 7.

Last February, on what would have been Ivana's 74th birthday, Ivanka shared a carousel of photos of her mother on Instagram, calling her "the funniest, smartest and most glamorous woman I knew."

"She lived each minute of her life to the absolute fullest. I miss the joy she brought into our lives and into the lives of so many," she captioned the photos. "Happy Birthday, Mama. Love you and miss you every day. xx"
