Today I went to spend some time with my gran & found her sorting through granddad's clothes.....she's always been a "sort it here & now" person. I, on the other hand, didn't handle it so well. As strange as it sounds I just found it very emotional handing it all over to the collector from the local charity shop.
Then my gran asked me if I was interested in any wee mementoes of his. Now my granddad was never a materialistic man, he had the clothes on his back and was happy at that. Gran left the room and came back with granddad's driving license (his lovely smile included) and a shepherd's stick with his name engraved on it. Granddad was always into training sheepdogs and competing in sheepdog trials (more great memories for me) and so the shepherd's stick was a HUGE part of his life. Just to know that I have this item that meant so much to him....well you can all imagine how much it means to me in turn.
Love ya all. xx
