After a day out with friends, the expected became true, I lost my grandad (george) today, after coming home from a day out at the beach with friends, I saw my mum in tears and she told me that my grandad passed away at 5:30 this evening. I was quite shocked but it didnt really sink in, so off I went, out with my friends for a few drinks this evening to finish the day off, afterall, I dont think my grandad would want me or anyone else moping around. Only a few weeks ago, me my gf and her family went to france, where we also went to the beach ( graye sur mer) where my grandad landed on in dday, this was also very moving, He had really bad circulation in his legs which led to an amputation of his leg earlier this week, not to mention him only having one kidney, and this one kidney being in renal failure too. I'd always looked at my granddad as such a strong character, someone who would always be there. As said, I have just returned from a few drinks and to be honest, It couldnt have hit me any harder. Just been on the phone to my GF where I've just sobbed my heart out
To think I shall never see him again. A few drinks through out the night were toasted to him, but atleast he's not suffering now and with my grandma. This might not make much sense, I suppose after a few drinks, nothing much does, all I know is I shall miss him very much. 
RIP Grandad


RIP Grandad
