My grandfather died recently and I miss him every day. My grandfather had 3 daughters, my mum and her two sisters, so I was the first boy of the family. He was thrilled when I was born and smiled for days apparently. When I was younger he used to take me everywhere with him, people called me his shadow and were suprised to see him without me. To be honest, I was spoiled rotten by him and my gran too.
Getting older he got ill and lost his leg to diabetes. Even though he needed a lot of help and pills after that I still saw him as a strong man, who looked after my gran rather than the truth, which was he was ill and she looked after him.
I will always be grateful to my grandfather for…everything. My gran gave me his watch after he died and I will wear it every day, passing it on when I go as well.
I was posting a thread in “Movie Quotes” when I decided to type what I typed above. It made me feel better to be able to tell people what he meant to me. Not just people but strangers, because some times it easier than talking to people who miss him too.
I don’t really have a purpose for this thread other than the message above but If anyone else wants to add something similar go ahead…
