My Grandad

Forgive the old picture, but today my grandad passed away. This was him celebrating his 90th Birthday just over a year ago.

A great man who leaves us with many happy memories. He's only ever been my grandad but I know he made a big impact on a lot of lives over many years.

Death is a funny thing, isn't it? The joy of no more pain and no more suffering and , for us, the assurance of a heavenly greeting, but also, the grief of those left behind.

I've never really been one to consider whether or not animals go to heaven. But I do hope there's a dog or two up there for grandad to sneak some dog biscuits to.
