An entire year. It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone Grandad. We came to see you at the hospital and I remember you only woke for me and Mum & Auntie Kim, you were fighting it, so hard. You were using your strength trying to pull yourself up & I remember you saying “You’re here”. Those were some of your final moments that day & it runs through my mind a lot. You were fighting everything that ever came your way, until the end.
Now, Grandad, there is so much that I cannot even put into words about how much I miss you, how much different life has been without you & Nan. My rocks, my guidance and my best friends. I learned so much from you and Nan. Grandad and you did so many things that left us with great memories. Your cheekiness, causing mischief even until your last moments, how you would always put others before yourself and ensure everyone was okay before you.
Sometimes Grandad, I know you felt like a burden but you never were. Mum and I visited everyday because we loved you & wanted to look after you through the hardships because we faced it together. You both went through your biggest fights at the same time & recovered together. You proved everyone wrong and knew you could do it because of your strength and courage.
Sadly, we lost you 2 years later but we had so much more time with you. We had more memories, more smiles, more tears, more trips and time to spend together and for that I will be forever grateful you continued to fight when you did. You went through toughest of times, losing your voice & not being able to socialise the best you could but you still carried on with your little pub trips, spending time with family. You stayed strong and you managed it all.
Grandad, I forever love and miss you. In my heart I know you’ll always be with me, there isn’t one day that passes where I don’t think about you and Nan. I hope you two are being as strong as you were down here up there & making many memories together. Reunited with your love of many years, have a doombar and brandy together.
Cheers to you both. I love you both so dearly and forever will 🥂❤️
