'Love Never Dies': Erika Kirk's Emotional Message As Daughter Spots Late Father Charlie's Poster

In a deeply emotional moment shared on Instagram, Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, posted a touching message after their young daughter recognised her father’s image on a street

poster.

The video shows their daughter in a moving car, pointing at the poster and saying, “I see daddy.”

Reflecting on the moment, Erika wrote, “Her… saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies, just changes form. It breathes through our children. This is her legacy also.”

She continued, “And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time Heaven leans in to listen.”

Ending her message with a heartfelt note, Erika expressed, “I love you Charlie baby, I’m so proud of you. We all are so proud of you.”

On October 15, US President Donald Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honour, to slain activist Charlie Kirk.

“Today we’re here to honour and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanised the next generation like nobody I’ve ever seen before,” Trump said in a Rose Garden event.

Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot on September 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University, a killing that shocked the nation and reignited debates over political violence.

The Trump administration has launched a broad crackdown on left-wing organisations, deploying multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and IRS, to investigate and disrupt groups accused of funding and organising political violence.

A key figure in conservative politics, Kirk mobilised young voters for Trump’s 2024 campaign. His influence was significant but divisive, marked by attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and civil rights. Supporters hailed him as a champion of free speech, while critics argue he helped mainstream extremist views.

Since his death, Trump has called Kirk a “martyr for American freedom” and vowed at his memorial service to carry on his work.

In September, both the US House of Representatives and Senate approved resolutions declaring October 14, 2025, on what would have been Kirk‘s 32nd birthday, a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
