Well done on writing this, Bekka.smiley - hug

Can you write the facts in third person for a guide entry?

My cousin has ME, she is younger than me and the difference in her is incredible. She used to be a nurse but had to leave. She was adopted as a baby by my aunt and uncle - they were told they couldn't have children of their own so they adopted Simon and Janet. Within 5 years they'd had 3 children of their own, all blue-eyed blondes. When the youngest, David, was just a few months old, my aunt died of cancer. She wasn't even 40 years old.
I remember my parents taking in Timmy, who was about 2 or 3 at the time, we had him for a few months. Other relatives took David and the two girls, Simon stayed with his dad.
Once my uncle felt able to cope, he got all the kids back and raised them alone.
Now he is in his 70's and he is looking after Janet....

That family has had one tragedy after another and it's not fair.smiley - sadface
