This has come about cos today I was given a birthday card from my parents which they had kept for me.
The card was for my fourth birthday from my Nanny Vi.
I never knew my granddad.
Many years you have left our side,
cos cancer took you away from us,
You wanted to be with Granddad and be by his side
and look down on us,
To keep us safe and sound.
*
I have only but few memories of you
I was far too young at the age of four
To remember the things you done with us
To remember your kindness, your Love
You gave to us.
*
I hear stories about you all the time
and Granddad too.
The story of you chasing the policeman
Down the road with a frying pan
This story still makes me giggle to this day.
*
You were both taken from us,
In horrible ways, and far too soon.
Grandad you never knew us
Nanny you never got to see us grow up
or to meet your Great Grandchildren,
I know they would have loved
and adored you both,
Like we all do.
*
You’re both very special people
People to be admired,
and never forgotten.
*
Nanny Vi, Grandad Bob
we all still love you,
You’re both not far from our hearts
and thoughts,
Love you both forever more.
