Kim Kardashian has shared a poignant tribute to her childhood best friend, Lindsay May, who passed away in February following a battle with cancer. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the reality star and entrepreneur expressed her profound sense of loss and emptiness without her friend.
The post, which came months after May’s passing, included a carousel of images capturing cherished memories of their friendship. Kim wrote, “It was just your birthday and I know you never liked to make a big deal of it, but Happy Heavenly Birthday, Lindz. I waited months to post this, mostly because I couldn’t find the right words. Nothing really captures how quiet and empty our lifers chat feels without you in it.”
Remembering Lindsay May
Lindsay May, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry as the founder of Mayflower Entertainment, was known for her work connecting brands with high-profile partners. She collaborated with renowned names like Gucci, leaving a significant mark in her field.
Kim’s tribute highlighted the deep bond they shared, particularly through their ‘Lifers’ friendship group. She reflected on their annual lake trips, a tradition that held special significance for May. “The lake was your happy place. It made you feel lighter, healthier… you were you,” Kim reminisced, adding that they felt May’s absence keenly this year.
“Looking back at these pictures from a year ago, I feel so grateful for all the memories we made. We miss you so f****** much, Lindz. Our world is not the same without you.”
Support from Fans and Friends
The emotional post resonated with many of Kim’s followers, who flooded her with messages of support. “Beautifully said,” wrote one fan, while another added, “Grief is such a long road… thank you for sharing her with us.” The outpouring of empathy highlighted the universal nature of grief and the importance of cherishing friendships.
Kim’s ability to maintain close ties with friends from her pre-fame days was also noted by her followers. “I love how you cherish your friends from before fame… ❤️ so sorry for your loss,” commented another supporter, acknowledging the authenticity of her relationships.
The Impact of Friendship and Loss
The tribute not only shed light on the personal loss Kim has experienced but also underscored the broader impact of friendship and the void left by the passing of a loved one. As Kim continues to navigate her grief, she holds onto the traditions and memories that keep her connected to Lindsay.
“We’ll always have the lake — and in that, we’ll always have a piece of you,” Kim concluded, encapsulating the enduring nature of their bond.
As Kim Kardashian moves forward, her tribute serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring and remembering those who have touched our lives, even in their absence.
