3rd June 1936 - 29th May 2012


I have never had to doubt how you felt about me, thank you for always believing in me and whatever I decided to do. It means so much to me that you are proud of my decisions; even if that motorway to Cambridge that you planned for years went unused in the end.

You taught me how to build Lego houses, how to nurture a seed and to be careful with my money, but thank you most of all, Grandad, for teaching me to love, to play and to always have a song in my heart; even if others don’t like to hear me sing! 

I am sorry, but I think its time to break our 20 year secret and tell Nan about your secret stash, I hope you can forgive me! Thank you for being so strong right until the end, Grandad, I will always miss you, but I consider myself lucky to have known and loved you and I will treasure your memory forever.
