Kourtney Kardashian penned the note for her grandmother, sharing how MJ influenced her and her special childhood. “My grandma MJ (with a red heart). There aren’t even the right words I could even use to tell anyone about her and I…or to describe her and really capture it because it’s just such a special feeling ingrained in the being of who I am, of my whole childhood and life,” she wrote in the caption. “It’s Halloween, it’s Christmas, it’s the ocean, it’s tea and gingerbread cookies and just the warmest feeling in the world. I am so thankful to have had her for 47 years to look up to, for the way she loved me and for being a safe place. I will miss hearing all the stories of her fabulous life. Happy heavenly birthday, our angel,” she continued to wish MJ on what would have been her 92nd birthday, with photos ranging over decades of beloved family time.
