Today there was a mist over Göteborg, it wasn't an overwhelming, dark and grey mist, but it was light and low which reflected my heart today as I mourn the loss of my beloved Gradnddad, who passed away peacefully last night, surrounded by family.
My heart aches that I couldn't be there, but I am glad to know that he was surronded by people that love him and know that he is in a better place.
I now look forward to the day when I will once again be held in his arms, but it the meantime he is with family that have gone before:)
He is the best Granddad that anyone could ask for and I have so many amazing memories of this wonderful man. He was such an example to me, and so many others, of kindness, generosity and love.
I loved and cherish the moments that I spent with him and greatful that I was bless to know him - my life is richer because of him and all he did.
I will miss: his big, strong hands too hold, and his hugs, movie nights and him spoiling us, him whispering in my ear in his deep low voice and making me laugh, Sunday evenings and games, but most of all I will miss him! I will miss seeing him when I return to England and walk into his home to find his empty chair!
I am so thankful for a wise and good Heavenly Father who has a plan of happiness for us and glad that I have this knowledge and know I will be with my family again one day because we are an eternal family:) He was loved by many and will be missed!
