my granda passed away recently
first christmas without him around
his tuppence on the way technology was going is where will it end up
he was a man of the earth,he gardened up till the end he was harvesting potatoes even after he got his pacemaker
he kept going till the end but it was impossible to live with all his ailments
he eventually passed away in the local hospice on all souls day the beginning of the celtic new year, when they say the veil between the spirit and matierial world is slightest

What a lovely tribute to your grandfather. Thank you for sharing with us. I know this season will be hard without him. He will always be alive in your heart and memory.

Thanks, Hawkeye. I needed to read these wise words about how to cope with loneliness during the holidays.

My husband, working tonight got ordered to work overtime tomorrow - Christmas Day. He is a firefighter/paramedic. This is the first year this has happened. Your clip was very helpful to me.
