Well, that really was a celebration!

​Today has been an incredible day, and one I feel very fortunate to have been allowed to be a small part of. Today we said a final and very special goodbye to our family grandad. C was a truly incredible fella who lived a full and blessed 90 years of life. Conscripted to serve in the Korean war at just 21 years old and then raising his children and family alone, this was a man who could have justifiably had lots of things to grumble and complain about in life. Yet he didn't. He took the world in his stride and has left a legacy behind that most of us can only dream of achieving. From his immediate family right down to his youngest great-grandchildren who arrived just in time to meet C, his message to all has been heard loud and clear today - Live a kind, peaceful and mischievous life! If you aren't creating fun then you are missing out on the beauty of your day. 
Today we shed tears of laughter as well as sorrow.
Shine on bright you wonderful man. Gone but NEVER to be forgotten. You have our word on that xx
