Kim K's Family Send Her Sweet B-Day Wishes

by Caitlyn Callegari

When it comes to Kim Kardashian's celebrity overshadowing her humanity in the general public's eyes, James Corden and Chrissy Teigen have both expertly called it out, but Kris Jenner ended up being the one to really drive the point home. Because, sometimes, all it takes is a mother's influence. Case in point, in a sincere birthday shout out from Jenner to to Kardashian, the reality star effortlessly proved that her daughter is so much more than a celebrity. She appealed to the reality star's pre-fame side and depicted her daughter as she knows her best — the person away from the cameras.

In her Instagram caption for a collage of throwback pictures of, no pun intended, little Kim, Jenner wrote,

Happy Birthday to my precious Kimberly! @kimkardashian I love and adore you... you have brought so much joy into all of our lives and you are the most wonderful daughter, wife, sister, friend and mom. I thank God every day he blessed me with you and I cherish every single moment and memory. My heart is full of gratitude and I love you more than you will ever imagine or know... Mommy xo

And, somehow, with the knowledge that the media mogul has gone radio silent since her harrowing robbery experience, this birthday wish feels all the more important. In her absence, Jenner brought the "real" Kim Kardashian to the forefront.

Which is something that the adorable home video of Kardashian's second birthday, that the momager posted on Kardashian's app and website in her absence, also succeeded to do:

In another birthday musing, Jenner wrote under the video:

To My Beautiful, Amazing, Precious Daughter Kim,
I love you more than words will ever begin to express. I remember your second birthday like it was yesterday. I remember the smile on your face, the joy in your eyes, and the fun and excitement of everyone who was there. I remember what we ate, what we wore and I especially remember your unforgettable laughter.
You have been one of the most amazing loves of my life since the day you were born and I am so blessed that God chose me to be your mom. Thank God that Daddy filmed you all so much, so we can enjoy and cherish these precious memories that I will always hold like gold in my heart.
Now you have your own two little angels to love and make memories with, and I thank God every day for every moment we spend together.
Happy birthday, Jouge! I love you more than you will ever know!
Mommy

Given what she recently went through with her robbery, all this extra birthday attention from her family feels totally appropriate. So much so, that even Khloé got in on the love, dedicating her own video to her on her app.

And, not to be outdone, Kendall and Kylie Jenner posted their own glorious throwback pictures of Kardashian, as well as blurbs on their apps, proving that she was always special to them, even before the world knew her name.

More than anything, though, these familial love declarations show that the celebrity is a human, a beloved one, first and foremost.
