Kourtney Kardashian Longs For Dad

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 21st 2009 07:35AM

As pregnant reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian looks forward to her first child with boyfriend Scott Disick, she admits that the experience is "bittersweet" without her father, who passed away in 2003. "I wish my dad was here, but I know that he is here with us [in spirit], and I feel like this is definitely a blessing from him," Kourtney, 30, tells PEOPLE.

"I would love for him to be here and experience this all. I feel like he would be so happy." Kardashian adds that her mother, who divorced Robert in 1989, feels the weight of his absence on her daughter's behalf. "My mom was crying, like, 'Your dad would be so happy.' And you know, I feel like it's cool, because I feel like he's here."

Kardashian says, "It's bittersweet, and that's how I feel about getting married, too. I almost don't want to get married because I don't want him to not be there."

She explains that her dad's legacy will be the parenting skills he demonstrated. "I would like to be how my dad was as a parent to us," she says. "He would always be our friend, but not too much. We would know that we could go to him and tell him everything."

"Definitely you want to spoil your kids," Kardashian says. "But I want them to learn responsibility and want them to make their own money. My dad taught us that."

her father was such a pillar of the family and the community, remember oj's best friend, the man who took the piece of luggage when oj returned from chicago and it disappeared.

Lots of children lose their parents... enough already Kardashian family! This pregnancy is a blessing from you father... oh my God it is from unprotected sex! No doubt, Kourtney will find a way to make money off this child.

Recently,I found a very interesting place
______W ea l t h yl o v i n g . c o m_____.
The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs..
what's the most important is that you dont have to be a m illionaire.but you can meet one.
I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy .You should check it out!!!

I feel that the Kardashian family need to promote any event that takes place in their lives.Guarentee she will have a baby/ children clothes line coming out soon!!!!
Poor Bruce Jenner !Do these girls forget how much he has done for them.

I wonder of their father would want anything to do with this group of soul sellers.

I'm sure he wouldn't have had much to say had he lived! His OJ connection would have haunted him like it has all the others connected to it. The mom, now she is a real piece of work, and she gets 10% for managing Kim's career. They have had to do the only thing they know to do, to maintain the lifestyle to which they are accustomed - sell their bodies and soul.

Anyone who is responsible for making these talentless bunch of tramps has to be even a bigger loser than they are.

Oh please, her father was a creep, he helped OJ get off. I will never forget the look on his face when they found OJ not guilty, even he was surprised.

OMG, she's thinking of posing naked while she's pregnant, these people have absolutely no class what so ever!!!!!

I know what it feels like to lose a father, and as one daddy's girl to another, it's something that never goes away, BUT, saying that your pregnancy is a blessing from your father is ridiculous beyond measure. You're a role model, and a good one usually, but telling the girls who adore you that an unexpected pregnancy with your ex boyfriend is a gift from a dead relative is ignorant. It was an ACCIDENT, from unprotected sex! It's nice you two seem to be taking responsibility, but call it what it is.

I will never forget the look of incredulity on the Face of Kardashian when O.J. was pronounced not guilty. He could hardly believe it because he knew the terd was guilty and he knew there was a MOUNTAIN of evidence.His conscience must have bothered him later because of his implicity in this murder, hiding the suitcase with the bloody clothes .May he rot in hell and may O.J. join him soon.

u people are crazy talking about someone and her father who passed away like that....
nobody is perfect in life and one or two incidences does not define a persons whole life.
They loved their daddy and he was good to her , we should respect that.
yall are some pathetic haters !!

if her father was around, none of this crap would be going on, but then no one is perfect.

I really cannot wait till these idiots are out of the light. When they get a few more years older, the parts for crappy movies will get less and less and soon they will only be on the "what happened to them" site. The same hollywood power that made them will also crush them. Sure it was a sex tape (wow, bet their mom and dad is proud of them) but someone else will make one, and another and another and soon they will part of the Danny Bonaduche, Scott Baio and Lindsay Lohan reality shows!

Wow. "nosorethroats" is calling names, indicating that these young women are not very intelligent--and then misspells the word imbecile as "inbecil" and insipid as "incipid?" I guess someone is too "soopid" to use a dictionary.

I wonder if her father could have kept at least one of his daughters from becoming a skanky whore; it is sad when all of your daughters become skanky whores. But then again, O.J.was his best friend so he probably would have pimped them out to O.J.
