17. Big Ol’ Mess

Mercer is incredible. I’m just continually in awe of him. He’s charming, funny, quirky, brave, agreeable, cute, silly, loving, cuddly, and just the best almost-five-year-old anyone could meet. He’s 22 days into this treatment block (delayed intensification) and his body is starting to feel and show it. His face is a little plumper from the Read.
