When your daughter wants a matching tattoo for her 18th birthday, you say yes! Hers *keep me safe* mine *keep me wild* giraffes because they are us tall girls fav 🦒 I have loved you from the moment I knew you. Thank you for being exactly who you are my Andi Jane. Big things in your future. Forever my best friend #18 #tattoo #matchingtattoos #momdaughtertattoo #birthdaygirl

About last night ✨ awhile back my friend asked if I wanted to go to Taylor, the seats were nosebleeds but it’s Taylor so of course I said yes! My friend Danielle is a huge swifty and is one determined mama! Thursday she said for x amount of dollars want floor seats? In relative terms we paid pennies on the dollar for what others spent on floors seats. Danielle is a wizard and we had the most amazing night!!! Once in a lifetime deal! If only concerts stared at like 4pm 😆 worth the exhaustion! Worth the money! What a night!!! #taylorswift #erastour #statefarmstadium

Some say you can’t be their friends, you have to be their parent. I don’t see why we can’t be both. Love deeply, live wildly, while kept in safe boundaries ❤️ we made it to adulthood and I love her more and more each and every day. Happy 18th birthday my Andi Jane @andinothdurft what better way to celebrate than matching tattoos! Thanks @estattoo1211 at @cobrakisstattoo *keep me safe* *keep me wild*#18 #birthday #tattoo #matchingtattoos #momdaughter

The dance we have between parent and caregiver 🤍

Today is #rarediseaseday Lily has CDD (CDKL5 deficiency disorder) which is a rare disease. It’s been a long ride with CDD and all the complications that stem from this disorder. Lily remains steady and strong all the way. I can’t imagine a life without our girl and all the lessons she has taught us. She has paved a path of goodness for us giving us a better understanding of life. Gifting us compassion, integrity, honesty and the best perspective of humanity. I hate that she has to suffer and I pray we are doing the best we can for her, guessing every step of the way because of her nonverbal communication. I pray her sweet body and mind knows how loved she is. Send love to those who are rare today and every day 🖤🤍💚💜 #cdd #cdkl5
