Indiana Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward is hurting in a way most fans can only imagine. His daughter, Amani Joy, was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart. She passed away before her second birthday in October 2024. Since then, Ward has carried that weight every single day. And on his daughter’s birthday, he shared how broken he still is.

On his Instagram, Ward posted photos of Amani. He wished her a heavenly birthday in front of the Horseshoe faithful. “Happy heavenily birthday AMANI. Haven’t been happy since you left us. God was wrong for this.”

Then came a heart-wrenching 4-word line: “Lost without my baby.”

After that, Ward did not try to sound strong. The 29-year-old has always said Amani was his why. His reason. His light. So, her absence still cuts the deepest.
