What i would do to see you again!x

Grandad,
There is not a day that goes by where i dont think about you, i sometimes forget that you have gone! I just hope that one day i would wake up and it had all been a bad dream, Nanna is doing so well (just like nanna).Its my birthday next week and one of the fondess memories i have is driving down blackpool front and just as we had finshed the lights it hit 6.30pm where you and nanna reminded me that it was officially my birthday because thats what time i was born!i treasure the memories we shared together. Good night godbless, until we meet again xxxxx

Now Then

Ey up grandad michael here just thought id write you a little not as its being a while since we spoke last,things are going o.k but there isnt a day goes past where i dont think about you or wonder what your upto up in the sky.its getting to that time of year where the skies are alot clearer on a morning and the stars are shineing brightly and believe it or not many a morning ive stood there stareing at them talking to you(hope your not laughing to much)
now you have been gone almost two months now so i can imagiien you have met many a friendly person and i truely believe that you have met brian clough who out of the goodness of his heart has offered you a brew(or knowing him something stronger) as you are probably aware from where you are forest arent doing so well at the minuite and i bet your pal brian isnt so pleased about that just as much as me and dad arnt.on a good note though burnley are doing o.k and got a great result last night.

now then grandad it seems so long since we last spoke yet its only just over four weeks ago.
to say this is the hardest thing ive ever had to do or that ive been through is an understatement.
to think that im never going to see you again hurts so much i cant put it into words,not to see you sat in your chair in the corner of the room waiting for nana to make a brew,talking about the football or how much a pint of milk is really is hard to come to terms with.i guess what im trying to say is that i miss you and will always love you,i like to think that your watching over me on a morning making sure that im delivering the milk exactly how you taught me and i hope that you can actually see my round now for yourself,something ive always wanted you to see.got to go now grandad but will speak again soon.love you always.michael.xx

Much loved xxxxx

Grandad, i cant believe you have gone. I know you will watch over me and be my guiding star as your guided me for the last 26 years. You were a great role model to us. I will never forget those times we look back on in blackpool with one of nannas famous picnics and at the caravan. You helped make me the person i am today. i will never forget what you did for me when i was young! I love you more than words can say. "Good Night God Bless" x x x x
