Grandad Henry is the first relative i have lost that i can remember. My relationship with him whilst positive was sparse due to different life styles.
I have 2 great memories with him, First of me, my brother and father on his canal boat on a summer's day, i was young and given the challenging yet thrilling task of controlling the rudder, to a young boy there couldn't be anything more important in the world at that time. The day then continued to going up some small locks and resulted in me being very tired yet happy.
The second and most recent visit is where Henry met my daughter Miya, Naturally this happened at the local spoons. We spent a couple of hours with Henry who was great with Miya, he seemed to enjoy the moment very well and we continued to send photos of his great grand daughter growing up.
This is also the most recent photo i have of Henry, the photo is special to me as it shows four generations. Henry, Nigel, myself and Miya.
Wishing you peace,
Sam, Steph & Miya
