Kirk, the wife of late conservative icon and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, posted on Instagram on Thursday that her and Charlie “always loved Thanksgiving because it drew us back to the simple, but holy practice of gratitude.”
“And even now, well, especially now, in the depths of the ache, I’m reminded of that gratitude,” she wrote. “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.”
