My earliest memory was of you taking Justin and me to The Point cinema to watch Mars Attacks! I remember you told me to say I was 12 but I was only 9 and I agreed. As we approached the counter and I was asked my age, I remember being honest and saying 9. The look on your face was very angry and you weren't impressed about watching Space Jam either! 


I remember Uncle and Mum used to sing karaoke when the laser disk came about. This happened often on Sundays when Uncle would come over, it was cringey as some of the music was Chinese so it was quite whiny, then they would go on to sing George Michael - Careless Whisper.


When you and Dad used to smoke in the garage, I would get so angry with you both! It was because both of our pet rabbits, Snowy and Thumper, lived in there and they were precious to me! 


As kids, there was a time when Uncle was leaving to go back to London, I thought I'd play a joke on him and hide in the back of his car. I jumped out and surprised him but little did I know, he knew I was there all along. He said he was going to take me to London, I cried and he drove me home to my parents.


One Sunday, you came back as usual but you were holding a baby carrier and there was a cute little baby inside! It was Chloe! 
I remember Chloe would come home with you often and she'd spend time with Mum and I watching TV and having our Sunday snacks whilst you and Dad would be out the front working on the cars. 


It was so cute to watch Chloe protecting you when Justin pretended to attack you and steal your watch. The way she would stand up to Justin and shout "No" and hit back at him to protect you, it was so funny and showed how much she loved you! 


Sadly, in 2018 you were diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. As soon as we heard, the whole family came together and all we knew was it was aggressive, who would have known that you were going to live on for another 2 and a bit years. We all carried on living our lives, some days better than others but I knew we were all having similar thoughts of not knowing what the future held. 


I chose to visit you in your final days, though it was sad and tough to see you this way. I wanted you to know we were all there for you until the very end.


You are a great, funny, generous, and grumpy Uncle. You're one of a kind and will be truly missed.


Knowing you are now in peace and no longer fighting this battle brings some sort of comfort to the family.


RIP Uncle Paul.


Love always and forever Kim
