Kim Kardashian Honors Her Late Father With A Heartfelt Tribute 22 Years After His Death

Kim Kardashian says she “cannot believe” that she spent the same amount of years with her late father as he has been gone. 

The 44-year-old entrepreneur used social media to honor her father, Robert Kardashian, who passed away on September 30, 2003, at the age of 59, 22 years to the day after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. 

“Thank you for always keeping the family safe from heaven,” she posted on her Instagram Stories.

It’s unbelievable that you went to heaven 22 years ago today, and I was 22 when you died.

“You’ve been gone as long as I’ve known you. 

“I hope you’re really pleased with us all. We miss you terribly and we love you, dad.

Kourtney Kardashian, Kim’s 46-year-old sister, also honored her father. 

She reposted an Instagram photo with the altered message, “My dad [heart emoji].”

Khloe Kardashian, 41, the younger sibling of the couple, re-shared a reel on her Instagram Story in remembrance of their father. 

I will always make room for you, the caption said. I love you, Daddy. Happy birthday [white heart emoji]. 

“Thank you [white heart emoji] for everything.” Every memory. each and every lesson. Every chuckle. All of the love. I’m grateful.

Khloe said earlier this year that she was “incredibly angry” over her father’s passing and that she detested having to discuss her sorrow on camera.

In an interview with grief specialist David Kessler for her podcast Khloe in Wonderland, she revealed: “I was really angry for about three years.

During the first season of my show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” I recall that one of my producers forced me to give an interview about my father because I refused to discuss him.

“I would just cry if I talked about him at that point.

After that chat, I felt as though a house had been lifted off of me. was screaming and kicking while doing it, but as soon as I had that chat, I stopped crying when I talked negatively about my dad.

“I let all of my rage and guilt go. I can now discuss my dad with joy, appreciation, understanding, and a smile.
