grandad
to my grandad, a man who made my family what it is today. his love for his family was unconditional, he always had a open door for anyone who needed it.
the day he was taken - i was leaving for work when grandma called said grandad has gone and ambulance was there i started crying holding onto chris. he took the kids to school i went straight to grandmas house. nev was there to meet me and he just shook his head. i rang in saw the ambulance crew there was nothing they could of done. i went to see grandad he was gone - i wanted to hug him but i couldnt. i went to grandma, and hugged her. i called my dad he was on his way to scotland. my grandad was moved and placed in his bed as my mum would be coming and i didnt want her to see him in that way.
i didnt know what to say to her when she got there her world to stopped.
the days just rolled into one after that - the funeral was over too quickly then it was as if you have to get back to your life before it happened.
I miss you so much i miss the marzipan smell you always had from the cakes. your stories you told all the time. we way you loved everyone your open heart.
Grandma misses you so deeply im so proud of the way she went ahead with the operation after you died, and the way she is coping without you.
We all wanted time to say goodbye but at least you didnt suffer.
Until we meet again grandad - i love you always xxx
Kelly
Now then matey! We miss you, you were our workmate, and good friend. You left before we had chance to say goodbye but I know you will never be far away, keeping an eye on your family and all your close friends. You don't have to worry about Thelma, she's keeping strong, we are so proud of her, as you will be too. Keep on shining and watching over us all, and we will keep smiling with every thought of you.
Miss you loads Ben
love from Denise and Simon Rose
