Just like my late Grandad, Vicky, age wearied him but throughout his life his spirit and never giving up attitude, never left him. I'm sure it's still there wherever he is now.Vicky wrote:

My Granda was like that JP, he was in the RAF.
He had a great attitude and sense of humour, he came from Northern Ireland and despite living in Scotland for about fifty years, he never lost his accent.
My other Granda was in the army, i didn't know him that well.
I was the 20th out of 21 grandchildren and by the time i arrived, my Granny and Granda had lost count and interest in us.

I had one fantastic Grandad(The Navy), and a fantastic StepGrandad(The Army). My other blood-related Grandad there is a long story to that.

True words there, sometimes it doesn't matter. My Nieces StepDad is way better to them, than their biological Dad. Cares for them and looks after them, in the way that they deserve.Vicky wrote:jp761 wrote:Sounds like a great man.Vicky wrote:

Sometimes the blood doesn't matter, it's the love that counts.
There's a lady i call Aunt, who's also my Godmother and we've have no blood ties, but i've always thought of her as my Aunt and me and her are close.
Then there's my mum's sister.
If i saw her in the street, i would walk straight past her.
My mum and her brother feel the same about her, she's a nasty piece of work.

Very nice, classy. A little bit different to a poppy pinned onto the top.Vicky wrote:
