Carrie Fisher died suddenly on December 27, 2016, while aboard a flight. The following day, her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died from a stroke. Many believe that Debbie was so heartbroken about her daughter’s death that she died from a broken heart. Billie Lourd was just 24 when she lost her mother and grandmother. A lot has changed since that fateful December, but Billie’s love for her mom remains. Billie Lourd shared a moving dedication to Carrie Fisher 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. She does this pretty much every morning and dare I say, 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,”Billie wrote.
