I went down to stay at my daughters in Farnborough for a few days last Wednesday, and slept badly each night with nightmares. However on Friday morning after getting out of bed feeling very rough, I went down stairs as usual to be greeted by the usual Hello Grampy with "big smiles", which always helps me to feel more cheerful, and sometimes makes me feel like crying.
After breakfast it was decided that we were to go shopping in Farnborough, so we all went off in the car. Once out of the car the eldest, who is nearly five took me by the hand and we walked around the shopping centre, and as we did she chatted to me, which was wonderful.
We went out on the Saturday and the Sunday and each time it was the same. The youngest grand daughter tried to get in at one stage, only to be told that it was Lucy's Job to look after Grampy, and she was to stay with nanny and to leave us alone. At this point I started to wonder whether, children are growing up faster and whether they knew that I was not very well.
My daughter Claire did tell them last year that I had Old timers disease, and for some reason it seems to have had an impact on them.
Today before coming home we decided to walk Lucy to school, before getting our train. As we got outside, Lucy grabbed my hand again and said that she was going with me, and then she walked me to school, which hit me harder than other times.
I confess that the noise off these two at times does get me, but after the last few days I am really going to miss them more than usual.
What would we do without them.
