In India, we have so many traditions around remembering ancestors - like Pitru Paksha when we honor our forefathers. It's lovely to see someone like Kim sharing her grief openly. Reminds me that loss touches everyone, no matter how famous. Hope Mary Jo rests in peace. 🙏
Not a big fan of the Kardashians normally, but this is genuinely touching. Mary Jo seemed like the anchor of that family. It's nice that Kris and Kim are honoring her this way - reminds me of how my grandmother (my dadima) would always say "family first." Beautiful message. 😊
It's interesting how people from completely different cultures can still relate to something like this. In our own families in India, grandparents are often the ones who hold everything together, especially in joint families. Mary Jo seems to have been just that - the matriarch. Kim's words were heartfelt. 🌸
While I don't follow their lifestyle, I must say - the way Kris and Kim are handling their grief is quite graceful. It's nice to see a celebrity share something so personal. My nani always said, "The love of a grandmother is like no other." So true! Happy birthday in heaven, Mary Jo! 💫
