hey grandad, you've been gone nearly a year now and I cannot express how much I miss you everyday. I'm still trying to get used to you not being around and getting random texts from you and nan. you will always mean the world to me, I hope I'm doing you proud cuddles. It still hurts to know that I will never see or hear you again but then i remind myself that at least you're comfortable and no longer in pain. Pops you were everything to me and I wish with all my heart that I could see you one last time and have one last conversation with you, it hurts to know that will never happen. I love and miss you forever and always

Grandad i know that this is late and you passed away nearly two months now but everyday i still miss you so much. A huge part of my heart is missing, you were more than just my grandad, you were like a best friend and a dad to me aswell, for that i will always and forever be grateful. I miss the way that you would go into the kitchen of a night and wash the dishes whilst listening to old country music, I miss the way that you'd get excited everytime that I'd walk through the door all i'd hear was 'hello cuddles' and i'm constantly missing your hugs, you gave the best hugs in the world. You were and always will be one of my favourite people ever. I love you and miss you so much, i cannot wait until i am able to see you again however long that may be. Never ever forget how beautiful and amazing you are because i never ever will. You'll always be my favourite.

Although I only knew you for a year, you have had such an impact on my life, you made jazz and Ellie so happy and I couldn’t ask for them to have a better grandad (gang gang), I’m sure you’re up there singing congratulations. Thank you for all you are and all you have done. I’ll make sure to look after penny and the girls (and of course Daryl) you will never be forgotten
