The poem that I read at the funeral pretty much sums up everything!
Granddads poem
When I think about my grandad, all the good times we have shared
I think of how he loved me
I think of how he cared
I remember when I was his Ellie belly
He read me Heidi every night
And woke me up with egg and soldiers as soon as it was light
At Christmas we'd play bingo
And grandad would use his poshest voice
And when ordering a take away he would talk In Chinese as he made his choice
Sometimes he would call me up and all that I would hear
is him singing "do you want to know a secret" booming down my ear
In the house he would call me a moocher
Because I looked through all the drawers
And In the back room he'd watch all the football and shout out all the scores
He had the firmest handshake of anyone you'll meet
And his endless DIY skills will be very hard to beat
I would love to thank my grandad if I could talk to him for a while
For making me feel so special
And for always making me smile.
I love you so so much and I will never ever forget you!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see you again and have one of your bear cuddles and watch the football on a Saturday afternoon talking for hours on end!
I love you so much! ( from your darling granddaughter as you would say) :) xxxxxxxxxxxx <3 <3 <3
