The Kardashian family is keeping Robert Kardashian Sr. in mind on his 80th birthday.
The family patriarch was born on February 22, 1944 in Los Angeles, California, and died at the age of 59 on September 30, 2003 – almost two months after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Khloé Kardashian shared a birthday post dedicated to her late father on Instagram on Thursday. “I will always hold a place for you. Happy Birthday Dad 🤍 I love you 🕊️ thank you for everything 🤍 Every memory. Every lesson. Every laugh. Every bit of love. Thank you!”
She posted a slideshow of photos of Rob Sr. with a viral sound called “Hold Space” — which some creators use in sad contexts. “This sound can be seen as sad or beautiful. I choose beauty. I’m not sad anymore,” Khloé wrote. “Of course I miss him every day and wish he was here to meet our babies, but I’m not sad. In fact, I feel blessed to have been chosen to spend 19 years with the most amazing man I’ve ever met.”
