He sounds like an interesting man who contributed positive experiences to your life. I hope you find the solace and support you need at this time.<br /><br />You comments at the end -- how he was friends with the Kray Brothers (netflix has a film about them, btw, don't know how accurate) and how he did both good and bad things -- it made me realize how much grandparents parcel out aspects of their life to us. We only see the one side, hopefully the loving and caring Grandparent Person. But there's this whole other complex history behind the person that we rarely are privy too. A history that is sometimes filled with dark things that later as adults leave us conflicted. It sounds like you have a healthy acceptance of your grandfather as more whole person, and can still enjoy the sweet childhood memories. That's a rare thing and I'm happy you have found such a good balance. <br /><br />Again, I'm sorry to hear you lost someone important to you. Wishing you health and comfort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-5415041679075173952012-04-09T16:34:00.276+01:002012-04-09T16:34:00.276+01:00I don't like it when someone I know dies.

Always a shame to see a loving person die, but there's no real solace apart from perpetuating their better aspects.<br /><br />Me, I never really accepted my grandpa's death until I found myself at a poker game. He taught me how to play... which is to say that cards were really the only thing we shared together, him being an ornery old racist and all. Shuffling the deck, it hit me all of a sudden that the piercing gaze I'd grown up with will never seem to turn my cards transparent again-- that presence was gone. So whenever I meet someone new, I always invite them around for cards, especially if they've never played before. It's the only honest memorial I can give him (plus I do pretty well against the chumps in my little circle, which would have made him cackle like a madman.)<br /><br />Anyway, I hope your memories of your great-grandad make you smile.malcesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-83253769054005337562012-02-15T05:10:45.826+00:002012-02-15T05:10:45.826+00:00Today's featured article at Wikipedia is about...Today's featured article at Wikipedia is about another <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Driberg" rel="nofollow">Tom D</a> who was also a "friend of the Kray twins".

She was awake but not able to talk or in any other way interact with her surroundings. It was 8 long years for my mom to visit her mom, not knowning if she could hear what she said to her or if she even realized she was there. Her illness came so quick and lasted so long, that a "good bye" like moment was not possible. It is good that you had that chance. <br /><br />Greets,<br />N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-89851411176184416452012-02-09T20:36:59.037+00:002012-02-09T20:36:59.037+00:00Glad to hear you got to say goodbye.

That can make a big difference, especially in cases where dementia is involved. I didn't have that when my gran (who was also in the late stages of dementia) or my dad passed away. Yours sounds just like out of a children's book. Sounds like he left a happy family and many wonderful memories. He sounds like a wonderful great-grandpa.<br /><br />[He sounds a lot like my grandpa. Our grandparents used to live next door, and we call them "Bopa" and "Mia" for the same reason. They spoil us with candy and the occasional monetary gift, much to the chagrin of my mother. My grandpa's a carpenter, and he's a real work animal (even though he's technically retired, he never stops working). We like to joke that he's too busy to die and will just live forever.]Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426429970161376876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667295582801858613.post-49377284373339893782012-02-09T09:37:32.152+00:002012-02-09T09:37:32.152+00:00*hug*
