Nearly a decade after the death of Carrie Fisher, the Star Wars icon’s daughter, Billie Lourd, shared an emotional post about motherhood. Along with sentimental photos of her parents, the American Horror Story star shared on Instagram: “It has been 9 years since my mom died. My daughter woke up earlier than usual this morning, so we went outside together and she knowingly laid her little head on my chest. She looked up at me with her big soulful eyes and said ‘I love you mama’ and grabbed my face with her little chubby hands and kissed me… There is no better way to wake up and no ritual I love more. I told her how much her grandmomby would have loved her and she looked up at me and kissed me again.” The 33-year-old actor added that, “Watching my dad with my kids is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever known…This joy wouldn’t be possible without my mom. This joy only exists because she existed. Even though she is not alive, she lives on through this joy… As my mom wisely said, ‘Nothing is ever really over. Just over there.’ My momby’s life isn’t really over. Just over there—in my kids and in this joy I’m able to experience because of her. Thank you, momby. I will never stop missing you.” Fisher’s sudden death at age 60 came on Dec. 27, 2016, four days after she fell ill on a flight from London to Los Angeles. Fisher’s mother, Singin’ in the Rain star Debbie Reynolds, died just one day after her daughter, from a stroke.
