Kris Jenner stunned the world by revealing she has cancer on May 9 as the matriarch of the Kardashian clan announced the news in the preview of the new season of the well-known family series, but she has rallied with her family and declared she's proud of all of her kids.
Sunday, May 12, is Mother's Day in the United States and it is a very special holiday that Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner's mother wanted to take advantage of to write an emotional message on her personal Instagram as she is confronted with her own mortality.
"To my wonderful children," Jenner began in an Instagram post. "Kourtney, Kimberly, Khloe, Rob, Kendall and Kylie. Being your mom has been the most incredible journey of my entire life, and everything I ever prayed for.
"Every day I am so grateful and feel so blessed for this life that we live... all the laughter, the love, the incredible moments we've shared, and the magical memories we have created as a family.
"You are my pride and joy, and I cherish each of you more than you will ever know. I am so proud of my daughters, who have become moms themselves. Watching you blossom, and grow and also nurture, raise, teach and love your own children is one of the most fulfilling experiences for me as a mom and a grandmother."
Kris Jenner: "You are the heart of your families, the ones you care for, guide and love"
Much of the details of Jenner's cancer diagnosis are unknown and unclear as the family will likely choose privacy over excruciatingly intimate details as she battles malignant tumors.
But she felt very emotional on May 12 and called for all of the women in her life to their roles as mothers and maternal figures in their families, as she continued to celebrate womanhood on an emotional and moving day.
"Being a grandmother is such a fabulous, magical and special experience that allows me to relive the beautiful moments I spent with all of you when you were little. It's like having a second chance to enjoy the best parts of what I cherish the most," she said about this new stage that she is sharing with her grandchildren.
"To all moms, you are the heart of your families, the ones you care for, guide and love unconditionally. [...] I hope your day is full of joy, love and special moments. Happy Mother's Day!"
Jenner also ed her mother, who she said taught her "the joy of family, the love of celebrating life always, and unconditional love."
Jenner then added, "Thank you for every moment and memory we have shared. I am very grateful to you and appreciate you every day."
