Dad died yesterday, after a lengthy decline, one that accelerated recently bless him....my young grandkids, his great grandkids, have been told by my son.
6 year old...
' What!!!!, grandad with Jakey' (thats ME, Jakey is our dog)
'No no, great grandads gone to heaven, not grandad '
We're very close to the grandkids, bless her little heart.
Tonight, we're babysitting them, their young sister is poorly and in hospital getting a check over. Im playing the Yes No game with the 9 year old who is reading a question card to me ..i mustn't answer yes or no?
' Im not going to ask that one' She said sheepishly.
'Let me see' I asked.....
It read?.'do you know a soldier ?'
Great grandad was in the RAF, near enough in a 9 year olds mind.
'Bless you angel
'
I love my grandkids to bits.
