Hi Grandad, Its been a whole year since you've been gone and so many firsts for us all, that you wasn't here for so I thought I would give you an update. I got a job ( If you were here I so no you would laugh at that), my t shirt is orange the same colour as that coat Phill used to wear, you hated that coat especially when I went and got an orange one, you said we looked liked two giant oranges walking up the road, I know you would say the same about this t shirt, it makes me smile when I put it on because I think of you moaning about phills coat. Keeley has had her first boyfriend and I know exactly what you would say to that, you would say that "he thinks he is a hunk and he is not getting through this door" This was my first birthday that you wasn't here for, big 30, you would have gone to the shops and bought me a cake and then try and convince me that you baked it, thats where mum gets it from lol, I always found the box though, you would still deny buying it. I went and got a tattoo that day to remember you by not that i need it to remember you because believe me Grandad you are truly unforgettable, I had it done to remind me of all the things you taught me, how to never go to sleep on an argument, how sometimes things are just a flash in the pan and bad times don't last forever and they will sort themselves out in time but most of all how precious the time we spend with people we love really is, I know you would laugh at that and tell me to stop being so soft but its true. I feel as though God let us into a little secret when he gave us you and all the people who didnt know you missed out because you was such an amazing person, you were funny even when you wasnt meant to be and even funnier when you was angry, it hurts so much that ill never here you laugh or even moan again, but I was still let in on that secret and that makes me feel special that I knew you. I will always be Grateful that you were my Grandad and I will love you always and miss you forever.
