To Nan 🤍
We have shared so many wonderful memories throughout our time in this world together but I'm finding it so very difficult to contemplate that you're no longer here.
I wish I could pick up the phone to hear your voice & tell you how much I love you.
If we could just sit for a cuddle & a chat with a cup of tea together before anything else.
Listen to your stories about growing up with your family in Greenford & Hanwell, coping with being evacuated & falling bombs, meeting my grandad at the dancehall, all the endless stories of my dad growing up with my uncles & auntie, looking after my mum when she came to London & all of the memories with my sister & cousins from sleepovers at your house in Northolt to trips to the Bunny Park.
You were never tired of playing word games & board games for hours, you shouted at the bullies in Lime Trees Park, fed teenage me weekly roast dinners, had an endless supply of chocolate bars in your fridge & managed to find a way to sneak a 50p piece in our hands at the end of every visit.
You welcomed Catherine & treated her like one of your own grandchildren. We loved the privilege of Ben & Charlotte having Great Grandparents & they grew to be old enough to realise how special that time was too!
My comfort is that you feel no more aches, pains or sadness without my Grandad by your side. God knows how you kept going but I am very grateful to everyone including family, neighbours, friends who stepped in to help when you needed it.
I really could not have wished for a better Nan.
Thank you for everything.
Love from your oldest Grandson, Stuart & Catherine, Ben & Charlotte 🤍
