I am not ill myself, but my older brother Andrew died of Neuroblastoma when he was three years old. He was my dad's first child and my dad was only 24 at the time.

Before Andrew died my dad brought him home for Christmas Day but a couple of hours later he had to take him back because he was so ill.

I don't think my parent's ever got over the loss of a child but my dad went on to have five more children (me included!)

My brother will always be in our hearts and never forgotten no matter what.
