I miss you right when I leave you! I can’t wait for you to be done breast feeding so we can wrestle. You promised me last year that we would start wrestling again. A girl is waiting patiently but tick tock babe," she joked in her caption.

I never want to go through a moment of this life without you. The laughter we’ve shared and share I’ll crave forever. There’s something about you and I... We are two peas in a pod. We go together like peanut butter and jelly. We are twin souls. Kourt you are irreplaceable to me. It’s hard to put into words the way I feel about you and our bond. Nothing can break you and I. My wish is that you continue to sparkle and radiate love and happiness. I pray that the magic in you only gets stronger and the fire of life I see in you never ever dims."
