"He is singing and reciting the song 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘐𝘵 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 that Nick sings on his live album. We’ve listened to this album so much that Elvis now recites what Nick says matching his inflections and voice."

The caption continued: "We lose people in life but it is up to us to keep them alive! It isn’t always easy to talk about them, have pictures up, tell stories or listen to their voice but when you do their life lives on. I’ve made a conscious effort in our house to do this, especially so Elvis knows his father. When this happened, my heart just burst. ❤️"
