Erika Kirk : “Our daughter said: ” Mommy, I missed you.’ I said, I missed you too. She goes, ‘where’s daddy?’ She’s 3.” “I said, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much. He’s on a work trip with Jesus, so he can afford your blueberry budget. ‘’ This made me tear up Charlie Kirk’s wife is strong but she is so heartbroken Please pray for her. 🙏

In moments of grief, the raw innocence of a child can pierce deeper than any headline. Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, shared a memory that has left countless hearts heavy.

She recalled a tender exchange with their young daughter:

> “Our daughter said: ‘Mommy, I missed you.’ I said, ‘I missed you too.’ She goes, ‘Where’s daddy?’ She’s 3.

I told her, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much. He’s on a work trip with Jesus, so he can afford your blueberry budget.’”

These words, simple yet profound, carry the weight of a mother’s struggle to explain the unimaginable to a child who cannot yet comprehend loss. At only three years old, their daughter’s question cut to the core—where is daddy?

Erika’s response was filled with both truth and hope. She painted a picture her little one could hold onto, a vision of her father not gone, but still providing, still loving, still watching—now from Heaven.

😭 The story has moved thousands to tears. It reflects the courage of a mother forced to balance unbearable pain with the need to comfort her child, even when her own heart is shattered.

Charlie Kirk’s absence leaves not just a national void for those who admired him, but an irreplaceable gap at home, in the tender moments of family life. Erika’s strength, though extraordinary, does not erase her heartbreak.

And yet, through the brokenness, her words remind us of love’s enduring presence—that even in death, love protects, provides, and lives on.

🙏 Please pray for Erika Kirk, for her young daughter, and for their family. May God grant them peace that surpasses all understanding, may He guide Erika as she raises their child, and may Charlie’s memory remain a source of strength, not just for his loved ones, but for all who were touched by his life.
