We dropped Mark off at the airport as he is away for two months doing volunteer work in a game park, and then hopefully another 3 months around the continent, all depending on Covid. The Mark we said goodbye to is the best Mark for at least the last 6 years. He is really the best he can be; open, continuously in a positive and happy mood, nothing is an issue, very sociable and interacting with us, full of energy, disciplined, committed, sensitive, and also clear about what he wants. He is a delight.

You have been so instrumental in his recovery. Without your dedication, commitment, love and professionalism, this would never have happened. We are so grateful, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have changed our lives as a family, our lives as parents, and his life as a human being, forever, and for the best. Of course, he worked hard himself and went all the way, but if he hadn’t met you, we are not sure if he would have been able to achieve what he has. We look with confidence into the future, without being naive. He will face challenges and setbacks, but he learned how to handle those.

As you probably know, he picked up school again and graduated with grades. Next summer, he will start university at home.

We will never forget you, thank you so much!
