Rob Kardashian is paying poignant tribute to his late father, Robert Kardashian Sr.

Kim Kardashian's little brother was in a reminiscing mood on Monday as he shared an endearing photograph on his Instagram account of him sitting on his lawyer dad's shoulders with the simple caption: "Robert & Robert :)"

Robert Sr. was a member of O.J. Simpson's so-called "Dream Team" of lawyers who passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer at the age of 59 when Rob was just 16 years old.

The pic is a precious childhood memory and perhaps a prescient reminder for the reality star who—as seen in a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that aired last month—has been having a difficult time figuring out his place in the family business given the fame achieved by his ever-popular sisters.

So much so that big sis Khloé Kardashian Odom sprang a family therapy intervention on him in which he dramatically broke down before the cameras.

Whatever Rob's troubles, we're pretty sure his father would have been proud of him no matter what.
