Kim Kardashian pays heartfelt tribute to grandma MJ: ‘You are the best of us’
Kim Kardashian mourned her grandma, MJ, with an emotional tribute on Instagram. She shared 19 photos featuring Kris Jenner’s mother. The first image showed MJ helping a little Kardashian get ready. Most of the snaps included the SKIMS co-founder with her grandma. Many of them also featured the socialite’s mom, her sisters, and her children.
Meanwhile, Kardashian wrote a heartfelt tribute in the caption. She called MJ her “best friend” and said that her grandma had “taught all of us the importance of family.” Aside from this value, MJ had seemingly also guided Kardashian to be a “hardworking businesswoman.” “You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since,” the socialite shared.
According to Kardashian, her late grandmother was her “safe place.” While many called Kris the “matriarch” of the Kardashian-Jenner household, the 45-year-old referred to MJ with the same title. “You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. YOU ARE THE BEST OF US,” the mother of four wrote.
Among the 19 photos, the final snap was a screen grab of an old text message. It seemed MJ had sent it to Kardashian, sharing what she prayed for her “great grandbabies.”
