Today was my grandfather's funeral. I wrote and read out this poem without the third verse in it because when my mum read it she burst into tears and asked me not to read it, but I've shared it here for one big reason.
Grandad had alzheimers. I was talking to my sister about it afterwards and she said that there was no point in trying to hide that he had it. It is part of my memories of him. So I decided to share on here with you, if you want to read.
