This is my Grandfather. Pop died at home this morning, Suddenly but peacefully.
This photo was taken at Vonnies on Christmas day..
As I was in the garden today trying to sort out my feelings I heard Pop whisper to me.."You need to get a bit of practice in on your batting Kimmy."
I laughed out loud at that.. My batting performance in the Christmas day cricket match was very ordinary.
I felt very close to my pop in the garden today. Which is as it should be because my Grandfather gave me most of my fruit trees, he grew them all from seed, for me. I am getting a bit too teary to write much more here today. xxx Kim

Oh Babe.
My darling Nanna died while I was holding her hand. I was lucky to be with her.
A couple of nights later I was laying in bed and I heard her whisper to me. I don't know if it was imagination or whatever, but it made me feel wonderful.
And I am so sorry your comment got moderated, as I said in the comments it was because you are usually signed in as Kim not frogpondsrock. I thought you were being a silly bint, LOL, but now I know why.
Smootches babe. The pain is raw, but it will ease.

I know this hurts. You are in my heart. Sounds like Pop is still himself, just not visible.
