Sitting in bed early in the morning, just thinking how wonderful yesterday was with @kimrichards11 the fireworks started early. What makes me laugh is people wondering are we or are we not. All I can say is I'm so proud of Kim and can't wait till the premier of your movie this month and for the world to see how beautiful and great you are doing and committed you are for yourself in finding the happiness you deserve and staying on track with your life. I wish I could tell everyone all the things that you have lined up in your life to fulfill your happiness inside. Everyone loves a comeback and you will be seen in a positive light. Anybody who would ever meet you would see what I saw in you many years ago. There are so many people out there pulling for you and just remember you are loved by many. Always stay strong and don't let people walk over you or take advantage of you anymore. Spread the love. I'm proud of you and blessed to know you. Your friend always Monty #family #rhobh #friends #love #heart #special. We are all in this together and you're never alone and your family loves you so much
