“Finn helped me through the darkest, bleakest stage of my life. He was strong for me when I was at my lowest ebb, returning year after year and helping me to stand tall. He was the Italian cypress to my withering apple tree, and I will always love him for it.
I'm so proud of his achievements. He's doing so well and he deserves to be happy. And he deserves to be with someone else who's happy too.
