Your support and kind messages go far beyond what you can imagine. To talk about myself… I’m fine, I’ve had better days and worse days. Another challenge presents itself, which I accept. Eventually, I will get through this, against all odds. Finally, I would like to address the upcoming holiday season. These times are difficult for everyone! I wish you all a festive, happy and peaceful season “, he wrote in his Instagram story.
