There are many things at i loved about my grandad, his kind nature, his amazing ability to fix everything but most of all i loved the way he makes me laugh. Everything from his own mumbling language to his carefree attitude. All the times that we had spent in hysterics laughing at the smallest things, which only he could make funny.
I still could never forget the time that we went to alton towers, me the young child wanting to go on all the big rides and making him come along with me. We decided to queue up for nemisis, one of the main attractions at alton towers. During the queue he was acting the big man, trying to tell me how it’s not that bad and he’ll be fine. No way. He took one step off the ride and his legs went, all jellified and wobbly barely able to talk.
We have had many special moments, all the moments that we would spend together were special. He would do things purly for my own amusment, however sometimes he would come off the worse for it. Like the time we were visiting wayne and natasha and took a trip to the zoo. We were sitting on the grass watching these priari dogs played near me. Grandad tried to tease it out of it’s hole by edging closing making that squeeking noise with the mouth, untill he was only a few inches away. It suddenly bit his finger and ran back down the hole and left me once more in hysterics.
Its the little things like this that set me off laughing. From his little witty one liners, to his drunken swagger he liked to put on for my own personal amusment, I loved everything about him. I wish i could pull out one or two things that i remember clearly, but there were so many things that it would be impossible to do so. I loved him more than anything in the world, he was more than i could ever have wished for, he taught me valuable life lessons, including some handy tips about D.I.Y. I will always remember him as a great man, and a great grandfather. I’m going to miss him dearly, but he will always stay in my thoughts,
i love you grandad, lorne.
