When I think of the happy memories from my childhood it is incredible how many times they involve you and Nan, and as I sit and ponder losing you, so many funny stories, great holidays and christmases flood into my brain. But what I remember the most is just the general feeling of happiness, calm and safety I felt when I was with you.
You were such a large part of my life, countless summer days at the cricket, the hundreds and hundreds of times I stayed over and we would speak for hours. You would give me advice, I would ignore it and you would still support me regardless, your only wish being for me to be happy. In my younger days I would hear you worry about money,but only ever hear the faintest protestations when I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu every single time.
It is such a shame that I have had to lose you, to understand how much I’d miss you, and although you have embarked on the last great adventure, I will never lose the feeling that if I put my mind to something, I could achieve anything. You gave me so much of my confidence, I will try to remember that feeling and carry it with me now you are gone.
Although I wish I had been more patient with you at the end, I am certain you knew how much we Grandkids loved you, and how much better you have made our lives. You taught us so much, but most of all you taught us to be happy with who we were and enjoy the little things in life.
I will never forget you, and will never stop missing you. Love you always, Kane x
