Madonna has shared a rare family portrait featuring herself and her six children, as well as her father, Silvio Anthony “Tony” Ciccone, 93.

Her official Instagram account shared a Thanksgiving post on Monday, revealing heartfelt sentiments about her late brother, Christopher Ciccone, who passed away at 63 years old in October.

Madge, 66, posed with her father and children;  Lourdes, 28, Rocco, 24, David, 19, Mercy, 18, and twins Stella and Estere, 12. 

In her post, the Material Girl spoke of her pain watching her father Tony cry at his son Christopher’s funeral.

‘My Family has experienced many losses this year,’ Madonna wrote in her bittersweet caption.

She remembered a poignant moment, stating, “My father has endured with Dignity. Watching him cry in the cemetery when we buried my brother Christopher – right after he lost his wife. Was a moment I will never forget.”

‘Spending time with him and all my children on Thanksgiving was Medicine for the Soul,’ she concluded. 

The legendary singer began her post writing: ‘We are born into families and we create our own.

‘As time goes by I am more and more appreciative of these microcosms of life that Dance around me and teach me lessons every day.’

Madonna’s brother Christopher died following a battle with pancreatic cancer, his publicist confirmed to DailyMail.com at the time. 

Christopher passed away peacefully on October 4 surrounded by his husband Ray Thacker and their loved ones at his home in Michigan. 

Christopher’s representative mentioned, “Christopher’s loving spouse stood by his side devotedly during the last stages of the cancer that ultimately took his life.”

He is survived by his Queen of Pop sister and their siblings Martin, Paula, Melanie, Jennifer and Mario as well as their father and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 

‘He was an extremely talented man with a wicked sense of humor,’ one friend said.  

Christopher and his sister worked closely throughout her career, but had a falling out in 2008 with Christopher’s bombshell book ‘Life with My Sister Madonna.’

Christopher worked as a designer, artist and director throughout his career organizing concert tours, music videos, and film, to commercial, residential interior and furniture design.
