My sister sent me a message on facebook a few days ago, these are the edited highlights…

I don’t think you’ll remember, but when you were little you used to have super powers. You were just like the incredible hulk. ADHD before it existed.

I remember when you were 2 or 3 that you lifted your single bed and tried to throw it out the maisonette window, you had it right up on its end against the window.

You also lifted our toilet clean out of the floor like it was nothing, like it wasn’t plumbed in or any weight at all.

I remember you came in to my bedroom when I was in bed with my friend and you poured washing powder on us and tried to set us on fire.

We used to have 2 bins on each side of the fire place, they were made of straw, you set them on fire too but that was a different day.

Another day you covered yourself in white pepper, it was everywhere, you couldn’t breath, coudn’t catch a breath, scared the shit out of us. You were always up to something.

One morning you couldn’t get out of bed. You were in pain and couldn’t move. We took you to hospital and they said there was nothing wrong but there was to you. I remember wheeling you outside for a while after that in a pram and then you were ok again.

I remember your first asthma attack, it was terrible, you could have died. Then you were on all these meds and that was frightening too.

One day you pee’d in a pineappleade bottle and gave me it to drink, which I did.
