Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, shared an emotional video of her 3-year-old daughter singing to her baby brother — the same lullaby her late father used to sing to her before his death, as reported [1] by The New York Post.
The video, posted on Instagram over the weekend, shows the toddler standing beside her brother’s crib, gently singing “Jesus Loves Me.” Erika wrote that the moment brought back powerful memories of her husband’s nightly routine with their daughter.
“I see you alive in our babies, especially at night,” Erika wrote in the caption.
“I remember walking into her room and hearing both of you singing ‘Jesus Loves Me’ as she falls asleep. Her voice now carries both you and her in one. And in this moment, when I witness this every night on the monitor, Heaven feels even closer.”
The post comes nearly two months after Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10 during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
The tragedy left the conservative community in mourning and thrust Erika into the public spotlight as she assumed leadership of her late husband’s organization.
In a recent interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Erika revealed that her daughter still asks about her father.
“It’s really sweet because I keep explaining to her a few things, and I said, ‘If you ever want to talk to Daddy, you just look up to the sky and start talking, and he can hear you,’” she said.
“I told her, ‘You know, Daddy is in Heaven’ — and she goes, ‘Do you think I could go sometime?’” Erika said through tears. “I said, ‘Baby, we will all go one day.’”
Erika and Charlie Kirk were married in May 2021 and have two children together — a daughter and a son. Though Charlie was a prominent national figure, the couple kept their family life private, rarely sharing images or details about their children.
Since her husband’s passing, Erika has continued his work with Turning Point USA, stepping into the role of president.
Her leadership has been marked by both public grief and determination to preserve her husband’s mission of advancing conservative values among young Americans.
The video has drawn widespread support and condolences from friends, supporters, and members of the conservative movement.
