LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian has opened up about the final conversation she had with her father, Robert Kardashian, before his death.

In her new biography, 'Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future’, the 46-year-old shared, “The last thing my dad ever said to me was, ‘I know you’re going to be good – I can see it. It’s as if I can see what your whole life is going to be like,’” as reported by the Daily Mail.
The late attorney was also the father of Kim’s siblings, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob, whom he shared with Kris Jenner.
Further into the book, Kim told author Jonathan Van Meter, “My dad didn’t go into detail, and he was kind of in and out of it: ‘I can see it.’ He put his hand on my leg. I’ll never forget it. And I was laying next to him on this couch – this L-shaped couch – and we were kind of squished in this way, watching a movie. And he said, ‘You’ll be fine. But take care of the other ones. And make sure your brother’s good.’”

The SKIMS co-founder also talked about the last time she saw her father. She recalled, “He couldn’t communicate, but he was in his little bed, and I knew his vitals were almost gone, and the last thing I said to him was, ‘Dad, thank you so much for everything that you’ve taught me, from how to be a good person, to how you did my homework with me, everything I’m going to do with my kids one day. And I’m going to take the lesson of you being in my life and carry that forward.’”
Kim, who is now a mother of four children, further revealed that a pastor came into the room and said, “Everyone should say goodbye because it’s only a matter of time, and he’s holding on because you girls are here. Maybe say your goodbyes and then leave the house, and he’ll pass away.”
“And that’s exactly what we did, and that’s exactly what happened. I left his house and drove straight to [singer] Brandy [Norwood’s] house – so, thirty minutes. And I remember I was on Brandy’s bed and I got the phone call and I knew,” the socialite added.

In the authorized biography, Kim also reflected on her relationship with ex-husband Kanye West and credited him with changing her life.
She explained, “I realize that he loves, like, a project, right? I think he really fell in love with the idea of me, and the project behind it all. He loves things that maybe aren't cool and ‘I'm going to make them cool,’” before adding, “I think he's like, ‘Let me be with a reality star. No one respects it. I’m going to show you how cool it is’. He changed my life. He absolutely changed my life.”
