Erika Kirk's daughter told her she 'can't wait' to go to heaven to see her dad.

When host Sean Hannity, 63, inquired whether believing heaven is awaiting her offers some comfort, Erika responded, "It does."

"My daughter and I, we’ve talked about this at night," she explained. "She would ask, ‘What do you think Daddy did today in heaven?’ And I’ll have her relay that back to me."

Erika reiterated how she explains Charlie’s death to her young daughter.

"We’ve come to the understanding, and I’ve tried to explain this to her, that Daddy’s still with us, he’s just in a different location and he’s building us a home in heaven," she spilled. "And I’ve said this before, but she said, ‘I can’t wait to go.’ I said, 'Me too, baby.'”
