In honor ofKardashian’s 34th birthday on Wednesday,Malika Haqqposted a loving birthday tribute to theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar on Instagram.

“20 years of wordless conversations, a connection perfected over time. I was blessed the day you were born KK,” Haqq, 35, captioned a series of photos of the duo.

“Thank you for showing me the meaning of love and the art of forgiveness,” she continued.

Haqq concluded, “Your strength is reliable & your giving nature is one to be modeled. I love you forever sis 💋HBD.”

TheKUWTKreality star was showered with birthday love and gifts from her family — momKris Jenner,sistersKim Kardashian West,Kylie Jenner, andKendall Jenner— boyfriend Tristan Thompson, and a handful of friends, like Haqq twins Malika and Khadijah, on Wednesday.

Kardashian celebrated with a low-key family party, which came less than two weeks aftershe moved back to Los Angelesafter spending the past few months in Cleveland, Ohio, whereThompson, 27, plays for the Cavaliers.

The past three months have been a trying time for Kardashian and Thompson.

In early April, as Kardashian prepared to welcome her first child, Thompson was videotapedgetting close to an unidentified woman in a New York City lounge, days before the birth of the couple’sdaughter, True Thompson.

TMZ also posted footage recorded in October 2017allegedly depicting Thompson kissing one woman while a different woman groped himat the Darna hookah lounge outside of Washington D.C.

Despite the scandal, a source told PEOPLE thatKardashian’s 34th birthday was “beautiful” — and one she will never forget.

“No matter what happens, this is the best year yet for Khloé because she became a mom,” the source said. “This is a beautiful birthday because of that.”

“All the rest of the drama she’s not focused on,” the source said. “And Tristan is doing everything he can to show her love and appreciation. He really wants to make this work. And it looks like she’s prepared to go all in with him again. She wants her family to be together.”
