    All this banter between the reds and cardiff. pfffh.

    I lost my Grandad today, he was 75 he managed to survive for 9 years without my Nannan god rest her soul. He was the most gentle man i have ever met in my life. I feel empty without him. He was fine at 7.15 this morning and then i got a call to say he had passed away at 9.30, this came completely out of the blue, he used to follow the reds earlier in his life and told me about the good old days, boy he could tell a story. I am now at my wits end and dont know what to do, reckon i will end up going out toonight and getting trollied and having a good old pint of Johns Smiths for him.

    If you have ever lived in the west melton area then you may know him, Eric Thomspon aka TOBBA to his friends.

    Rest in piece Grandad you are my life my everything.

    I love you.

    Lee

    sincere condolences mate.

    My grandad passed away years ago, a relatively young man. I shed a tear every time I think of him.

    Cherish the memories and he lives on within you.

    And i thought this was gonna be a great year, a new start in life and now this, why o why does life have to constantly throw a spanner in the works.

    Time doesnt heal but it helps you look back on all the great memories that i shared with him.

    Dreadfully sorry to hear that news mate.

    I lost my grandad just two weeks before my son was born, just about a year and a half ago. Would have been his first great grandchild, and I'll tell you what, I'd have given so much to have seen them together.

    My son looks an awful lot like his great-grandad, especially in his smile. He reminds me of him every time he smiles at me. It just goes to show you that, regardless of whether you're religious or not - there'll always be something of your grandad there with you and inside you. Nobody will ever take that away from you.

    I hope you spend your time thinking about the good memories. Keep your chin up mate (Y)
