In her caption, Kirk wrote “Her saying your name, as she witnesses all you’ve built and continue to build, proves that love never dies—it just changes form. It breathes through our children.” She added that their daughter is “part of Charlie’s lasting legacy” and said “This is her legacy also. And as she grows up and continues to say your name, I’ll be reminding her that each time, heaven leans in to listen.” She concluded with a moving tribute “I love you, Charlie baby. I’m so proud of you. We all are so proud of you.”
