Kim Kardashian misses late father Robert Kardashian Sr. as she shares daddy-daughter snap on social media
The late Kardashian patriarch Robert Kardashian Sr. passed away from esophageal cancer in September 2003 at the age of 59.
But his doting daughters and son have helped keep his memory alive in the nearly 15-years since his death.
And on Tuesday, Kim did just that when she shared a throwback photo of her with her dad on Instagram.

Thrwoback Tuesday: Kim Kardashian shared a throwback photo, circa 1998, of her with her late father Robert Kardashian Sr.
The picture is from circa 1998, when Kim was just 17-years old, which is five-years before his death.
It shows a seeming happy Robert Sr. gazing into the camera with a big bold smile across his face as his daughter sits inches from him.
To put things in perspective, Kim graduated from Marymount High School in Bel-Air around the time this photo was taken 20-years ago.

Kim and her three siblings Kourtney, Khloe and Robert Jr. have consistently honored their beloved father by sharing touching tributes through the years.
Sometimes they will randomly share a photo or a memory like Tuesday's throwback.
To pay tribute on his birthday last February, which would have been his 74th birthday, Kim shared a photo of her father on Twitter, as reported by E News.
'Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad! Miss you so bad," she tweeted. 'I ordered your favorite Ralph's cake to celebrate! Love you forever.'

She also shared a video of her dad when he surprised her with a new car on her sweet sixteen birthday.
'Happy birthday. You're the best. You're gorgeous. You deserve this automobile," he said at the end of the video message. 'And it better be cleaned every week,' he joked.
Kourtney also shared an old photo of her and Kim posing alongside their father as kids in big holiday dresses in February.
'Daddy's girls," Kourtney captioned the photo on Instagram. 'Happy Birthday Daddy. I miss you every day. Kim wasn't as happy about her dress as I was.'
Robert Sr. was lawyer and businessman who gained national recognition as O.J. Simpson's friend and defense attorney during Simpson's 1995 murder trial.
He was married to momager Kris for 13-years. She left him in 1991 to marry Bruce Jenner, who is presently known as Caitlyn.
September 30 will mark 15-years since Robert Kardashian passed away.
