Kim, 42 captioned the sentimental post with a letter written to her deceased father, who passed in September 2003.
The caption read: “Happy Birthday Dad- it’s almost getting to the point where I’ve had to remember you longer than I’ve known you.”
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum continued: “It’s been 20 years since we’ve celebrated your birthday here on earth.
“But I will take it because I had the best dad in the whole wide world and am so lucky I had 22 years with you!”
She confessed: “There’s so much I wanna tell you and show you and so many little humans I wish you knew because God you would love them so much!”
The Skims founder revealed: “I can close my eyes and hear your voice and remember the funniest little things about you that make me so happy.”
Kim then mentioned: “I’ll never ever let that go.”
In a heartbreaking conclusion to the letter, the mother-of-four stated: “I just really miss you and kinda need you right now.”
She then requested that her father “come to me in a dream soon” before adding, “I love you so much happy 79th birthday!”
Kim signed the letter “Jouge,” which is the nickname given to her by her father.
The video showcased recorded VHS footage of Robert with Kim, Kourtney, 43, Khloe, 38, Rob Kardashian, 35, as well as their mother and his ex-wife, Kris Jenner, 67.
Backed by the Luther Vandross hit song Dance with My Father, the recording featured moments from when the SKKN founder was a toddler until her teenage years.
In one precious clip, an excited Kim was shown receiving her first car as a birthday present from her famous lawyer father.
Later in the same recording, Robert stated: “Happy birthday. You’re the best, you are gorgeous, you deserve this automobile,” humorously adding, “and it better be clean every week.”
Kim’s youngest sibling, Kylie Jenner, 25, commented on the post with several “white hearts” and a “holding back tears” emoji.
One quoted Kim, writing “Remember you longer than I’ve known you,” before adding a “heartbreaking” emoticon.
A second person wrote: “I’m crying,” with another commenting: “He is so proud of you Kim. You carry his legacy with you every day.”
While a fourth person asked: “Wow why am I crying,” and then mentioned, “this hits hard when you have an amazing father.”
REMEMBERING ROBERT
Robert Kardashian was an American businessman and lawyer who was the patriarch of the Kardashian family before his death.
He was a close associate of OJ Simpson and was part of the legal team that saw him acquitted for the murder of Nicole Brown.
Robert lived a healthy lifestyle devoid of smoking and drinking, doted on his young children, and amassed a respectable fortune thanks to a string of entrepreneurial engagements including music and frozen yogurt.
He befriended OJ Simpson while the two were enrolled at the University of Southern California and OJ would eventually serve as Robert’s best man during his wedding to Kris.
Robert managed many of their joint ventures and, eventually, OJ’s personal crises.
Vanity Fair confirmed a rumor that Robert coaxed OJ out of committing suicide in Kim’s bedroom.
Robert’s law license had lapsed when the case against OJ Simpson was being built, but he reactivated it in order to join the defense.
When he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer at age 59, it came as a shock to the family that was thrust into the spotlight via the “Trial of the Century” but had not yet reached its unending celebrity status.
Robert tragically died roughly two months after his diagnosis on September 30, 2003.
ROBERT AND KIM
As previously mentioned, Kim was just 22 years old at the time of her father’s passing but has let fans in on what their relationship was like.
Kim posted images of handwritten notes the two exchanged during Kim’s childhood and teenage years.
On the 17th anniversary of his death, Kim posted a throwback photo of the two while nodding to the fact she was inspired to study law because of him.
She later passed the baby bar exam on her fourth attempt.
Robert appeared as a hologram as a gift from Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West, 45, for Kim’s 40th birthday in 2020.
