To the best man that ever lived, my grumps, my grandad my hero with a big heart, cheeky smile and the slickest quiff.
My heart breaks writing this, you've grown your wings grandad Bill, you'll have the best seat now at all the cricket matches!
You have brought so much joy and laughter to all our lives and I cannot thankyou enough for everything you have given to me and mine.
You accepted me for who I am, wrapping your strong arms around me reassuring me everything was going to be ok, you pushed me to challenge myself, you entrusted me with your most precious babies - passing on your passion for ponds to me, I look at Gutsy and think of all the times we enjoyed in the sun in the garden by the pond, you put up with me and nan and our silly ways together!
Thank you for being you, I will always love you!!!
I will always be 'your boy', Until we meet again grandad, have a cuppa waiting for me.. be seeing you soon xxxxxxxxxx
