Erika Kirk Tells Late Husband Charlie ‘We’ll Save a Plate for You Babe’ on Thanksgiving, 2 Months After His Assassination

Erika Kirk shared a heartfelt Thanksgiving tribute to her late husband, Charlie Kirk, two months after the right-wing personality was assassinated.

On Thursday, Nov. 27, the 36-year-old posted a video on Instagram showing herself sorting through letters and gifts that her family has received as she observed her first holiday season without Charlie.

“Charlie and I always loved Thanksgiving because it drew us back to the simple, but holy practice of gratitude,” she wrote in the caption. “And even now, well, especially now, in the depths of the ache, I’m reminded of that gratitude.”

“God blessed me with being married to the love of my life, with our beautiful babies, with our family and friends, and with people from all over the world who have sent us letters, toys, artwork, and Bibles,” Erika continued.

“I can’t express what the outpouring of love has meant to me and the babies,” she added, referring to the couple’s 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son. “I’m reading every letter and card, opening every gift, and saving each one for them when they’re older. I’m thankful for a God who brings life out of ashes, who guards my heart, and who carries us as we do our best … today and every day.”

She ended the caption by saying she would “save a plate” for Charlie at their Thanksgiving dinner.

In the video, the couple’s daughter can be seen walking around an office space where letters and gifts — including paintings of Charlie and the family — are stored.

Erika added a voiceover to the clip, explaining how she talks to her daughter about her father’s death.

“We talk about heaven. I make it really exciting. I tell her, ‘Daddy had so much fun today,’ ” Erika says in the voiceover.

“I tell her — my son, he’s only a year and a half — but I tell both of them, ‘Daddy is telling all of his friends to send you gifts and letters, and daddy is orchestrating from heaven to make sure that you always feel so loved,’ ” she continues.

The mother of two also shared the post on her Instagram Stories, writing, “There’s always something to be grateful for. Even when it hurts.”

Erika’s Thanksgiving message comes just days after she revealed that she had been “praying” she might be pregnant with a third child following Charlie’s death.

“We wanted to have four,” she said during a conversation with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM. “And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. I was like, ‘Oh goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.’ “

Charlie died on Sept. 10 after being shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University.

The right-wing commentator, who founded the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA, was manning his signature “Prove Me Wrong” table on the first stop of his American Comeback Tour at the university when the incident took place.
