grandad was the BEST!!!!when u were down he would cheer u up and make a fuss of u.he would make sure everything was ok.he was a devoted husband to his fantastic wife mavis,a dad a grandad and great grandad.sadly throughout his life grandad was ill from heart attacks to strokes to brain tumour a triple heart bypass,anything possible he had it!The worse came a few years ago where grandad had cancer on the a kidney so he had that removed and was left with half of one,he then went into remission.age took on him a little and he was getting more fraile but still the fighter he always had been.He still made sure he made moma the happiest she could be,he was like that grandad always thinking of others!He used to make us laugh with his little jokes and the pranks he used to pull.
sadly the cancer came back only much worse this time to the spine,he was told if he didnt have it removed he would be paralysed from the waist down.Grandad the hero he was couldnt wait to go to the hospital to have it removed so he would be ok.he was like a little kid and couldnt wait!!The operation went ahead and grandad seemed to improve a little,but with grandad there was always complications somewhere.He was paralysed from the waist down from having the operation.He ended up being in hospital for weeks and weeks,so obviously it took a lot of strength out of him,and moma too.Eventually he was allowed home but was back only a week and again he was in hospital,he got mrsa and shown signs of weakening.The doctors just didnt know what was wrong with grandad they was puzzled.His condition deterorated and grandad didnt remember anyone except moma of course,his 1 true love!We was told to be prepared for the worse and grandad was allowed home to die in the place he loved and with the person he couldnt possibly love more(moma)weeks went by and grandad continued fighting,even months later he was still fighting.He couldnt fight anymore and he died holding my momas hand just as she whispered to him she would like him to do the day before,in peace.Even when he died he wanted to make someone happy!!!
GRANDAD U MADE US ALL HAPPY AND WE ALL LOVE YOU DEARLY. R.I.P

scared
You hear stories when your a kid about people when they die they come and visit you and do things to let you know they are there,some people believed them and some people didnt,Me well i was scared!!!I wanted to see you after you died but i was scared of seeing that old,fragile man laying on the bed.that man was you grandad but your soul had been taken away,i remember the day like it was yesterday.I walked closer to the room and the smell knocked me back,people told me when someone died they have a funny smell.I opened the door and looked at one bed there was a man who i didnt recongise i looked at the other it was empty.that man was you.My heart jumped and i screamed i shouted "thats not my grandad,wheres his teeth" (Thinking back now grandad you would of laughed at me.)i ran out of that room as fast as i could crying and shaking,we walked back to your house and moma asked if i said goodbye i kept strong and said i had,i never told her that i couldnt bare to see you like that and had ran out.
At home that night i couldnt think of anything else but you,i just cryed and cryed and cryed.I asked gareth to stay awake until i went to sleep because i was scared you would come and see me.I was like it for days-in the end i was so tired i just fell asleep as soon as i went to bed.I was in disbelief for days,that wasnt my grandad.
I just wanted to explain to you now i feel i can that i wasnt scared of you i was scared of seeing that man with no soul because my grandad was full of love and soul,but im not scared no more.....xxxx
