Hello Grandad, almost 6 years now. Can't beleive it you were the funniest grandad i've ever came across and probably one of the most racist haha I used too always look upto you when I was younger and I still do, your an inspiration in life. I bet your up there fixing random stuff as I speak/
I have only been to the cemetery once because I just know it will be so hard, we lost Lee aswell so hopefully your looking after him and your other family members to. I'm 18 years now, i'm a man :) and unemployed but I bet I would of had one when I was 16 with you kicking me up my arse telling me to hurry up, but don't worry I am looking everyday and hoping I can get a job as quick as possible because i'm just wasting my life away in my room and the first pay cheque i'll get is going to be spent on a nice bunch of soppy flowers for you, I bet you don't like flowers but you know what the women are like haha, i've missed the fun times with you and all of the laughs with you trying to get your budgie to say something funny for me and Michael.
Speaking of Michael, he's 20 years old now and he's doing well so it's all good for him, my mam is having another bairn at the age of 40 the old bag but it's sound i'm sure Dylan will look after him/her - i'm hoping it to be a girl, because four boys is just destructible, but i'm not picky I will always look after my younger siblings.
Anyways, I bet your bored of this soppy stuff so I'll let you go, nice having a one way conversation with you. Hope your having fun up there, it would be better if you were down here but thats life, hope your having fun Grandad.
Love Ryan
