Aww Granda where to start.

I wish this was all a bad dream. My heart is broken. You were the best we could ever ask for.

You were everything to me growing up my Granda, a father figure after my dad passed away and a true friend. You gave me so many memories from looking at all the cakes in the bakers window when we were waiting for the bus, all your daft rhyming slang and songs to teaching me German (I even ended up studying it in school).You helped shape me into the person I am today and for that I am thankful. You and Gran welcomed me into your home to live with you and it brought us so much closer. I definitely learned who I take after being a feeder. Your fry ups were like no other you had perfected that art even when I was working on a Sunday you always had one ready for my dinner when I got home. I could go on and on with the memories of you and I that I hold even closer in my heart now.

You were always full of fun and support when we needed it. You helped us all through so many tough times even when you were struggling yourself. My most recent being loosing Isla you were always there for a cuddle or to listen if I needed to talk. Then the hurricane that is Iona came along. She will miss you so much. I have been going through photos of you this week and as soon as she sees them she smiles and kisses the phone. You were also one of the lucky few that she would share food with. Your memory will live on through the family and in our home. Iona will grow up with all the daft stories and memories we have of you and know how much you loved us all. 

I don't think i will ever get passed not getting to say goodbye but its not forever its just until we meet again 💖. I know your at peace and free from pain now and I hope Isla has found you and is getting lots of cuddles with you. 

You are forever in our hearts and we love you so much.
