My nephew was 37 yrs old. He had severe cerebral palsy, so I looked after him, when my sister, was at work. I took care of him for almost 11 years....I loved him like he was my own son. I am lost.

Sending so much love x

He loved snooker, but still watched, Minions, rise of Gru, with me!
He had good taste then 😊 we love the despicable me films. Did he have a favourite band or song? I bet you will have songs you can play to remind you of him x

This one time, I was showing him he how we played hopscotch, when we were younger. His brothers and sisters were all there to, so I was showing off, telling them how, ' we used to play '....I mapped it all out in the kitchen, done my whole speech..and hopscotched right into the open cupboard door!! 🤣🤣🤣, our Shaun laughed so hard, he took hiccups!!!🤣🤣🤣. When I put him to bed that night, he was still giggling!!! I loved his giggles.

Haha lush. Love it when you are still randomly giggling well after the main event!

He sounds like he had a great sense of fun, thank you for telling us about him. If you want to tell us more, I'm interested in what were his favourite things?

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💐
