To celebrate his son’s birthday, and to reflect on the hardships they have overcome, Jaxon’s father, Brandon, has penned this heartfelt letter to his baby boy.

Brittany continued by asking friends not to let her see anymore hurtful comments: “I would like to respectfully ask each and every one of you to please no longer tag me or remind me of any post that has surfaced in regards to negatively against Jaxon”.
