In the caption, Kathryn admitted, "When I am with you I feel so alive again..even when you can’t see me or hear me I am always thinking of you... know that our love connects us by an invisible string, always.
The reality star further claimed, "I know that we will make it through these tough times and they won’t last forever."
Kathryn also extended her support to all co-parents as she said, "Sending strength to all of the coparents out there."
She noted, "No matter the situation being without your children is the most difficult pain you must carry each and every day you are without them."
She further said, "It’s so unnatural and such a drawn out devastation," concluding, "We need each others love and support—here’s to hope for the future."
