    This video is so different compared to ur usual uploads and I loved. My uncle has the Down Syndrom and has to be cared for for all is life. I love how you simply integrate David without putting too much emphasis on his illness. Thanks for the video! I will go on curing my 🐰boy's eye infection, how I hate to see my children suffering 😔

    In Northern Ireland we have 'JAM' cards which stand for Just a Minute. Basically you hand over the card to shop assistants etc and it says that you need more time. Its quite well known here. Maybe something you should look into it for David

    That actually sounds like the perfect profile for a dating website!!! ☺😎 But seriously it's super amazing to hear the life he is living. I used to work in a spinal and brain injury unit, so it's great to see someone who has progressed so far! I wish you all the best of luck in finding the best of carers! (I'd offer but think the commute from Ireland would be a little much lol) Love the channel and such varied content SJ ♡♡♡

      Niamh_21forever_Weldon ah what an amazing job; it’s so hard to even think back on the really bad days - there are so many people living with Injuries like this I imagine. And I know so many people take on the care role themselves; it’s amazing what people can achieve! Xxxx
