My Grandad

Seeing his death in print makes it all the more real. Being 500 miles away sometimes makes it difficult for things like this to sink in, but seeing it published in the local paper back home impresses upon me even more the actual finality of it all. I will never see him again, get that sloppy kiss from his stubbly cheek & chin or even have a great big hug from him.

Those times are gone now. Forever.

Time to make that trip up North soon to pay my respects, and spend some much needed time with the family.
