Family Life

This family has a video store in their living room for the BEST reason

Hector Andres Zuniga is a 20-year-old man from Texas, who enjoys going to his local video store twice-a-week, doing so for the last seven years.

Hector though has a special connection with the store; he has autism and is non-verbal, therefore going to the store is part of his normal weekly routine.

So when his parents found out that the store was closing, they had no idea how Hector would cope with the news.

Hector naturally has his good days and bad days, but his parents Hector Snr and Rosa knew when he heard the news, their son would be devastated.

Rosa had an idea though.

Realising the store would be selling off their inventory before it closed, Rosa began to pick up all Hector’s favourite movies; Barney, Elmo and Rugrats DVDs.

The family created a mini video store in their spare room, waiting until the store closed before surprising Hector.

Hector’s 19-year-old brother Javier uploaded the snaps to Twitter and they’re amazing.

The look on Hector's face says it all. 

What an amazing family.
