My Granddad George

My Granddad George was a wonderful man. He used to entertain us with his tales of the past and his terrible jokes. How I wish that I had spent more time with him just listening to the tales from the old days. I have plenty of memories that I will treasure of him.
When I was young, I remember going over to his house at Christmas and I have this vivid memory of his saying to me "I think I saw something just land on your roof." He pointed over at it and I love that. When I got home I found the house had been decorated by "santa." Also every Christmas Eve I remember waiting up to see Santa and there he came. Walking down the street. He would wave and them tell me to get to bed. I never knew at the time that this was granddad and I never found out who this mysterious Santa was until after his death. I just hope that he knew how greatful I was for that.
When we went to visit, he was always sitting in the chair in the corner of the dining room with Molly by his side. This was him and thats how I still picture him. He is still sitting in the corner of the dining room at number 3 in my heart. And he always will be.
Love you Granddad and I will always miss you. xx
I just hope you knew how much I always did.
