I know you will succeed — I can see it. It's as if I can see what your entire life will be like

The TV star said that they were lying next to each other on the couch watching a movie when her father put his hand on her leg and assured her that everything would be all right for her.
In addition, Robert Kardashian asked his daughter to take care of her siblings, especially her younger brother Rob, who was only 16 at the time.
Take care of the others. And make sure your brother is all right
She also recalled their last moments together, when Robert was no longer able to speak. Kim then thanked him for raising her and for the life lessons that she promised to pass on to her own children.
Robert Kardashian died in 2003, just three months after being diagnosed with stage-four esophageal cancer. Kim was 22 at the time.
She later became one of America's most famous TV stars and founded her own businesses, including the SKIMS brand.
