"Life throws up the unexpected and can be difficult at times but as they say remember there will always be a happy ending if you are willing to fight for it and he certainly seems to be a fighter…You’ve got this son."

Mark definitely has definitely settled into to uncle life!

You both are the best parents ever, and this little angel couldn't wish for any better to help him grow into the son you have.
