Hi everyone,
Currently approaching the dreaded one year anniversary of my dear Grandad’s passing. This will be the 19th February. I really don’t know how i’m feeling, I keep thinking this time last year he was here and then suddenly declined in health.
I’d love nothing more to see him again and the family has kinda fallen apart since he left us. He was the glue that held it all together.
I was thinking of laying one of his favourite flowers, roses on his memorial at the crem and then have a chippy tea and a Guinness as he liked both of those. It feels wrong even planning this 
Grandad I miss you so much
I know this is sensitive, so any words of advice and comfort would be kindly welcomed. Thank you xx

What your doing and feeling is natural,there are many on here that can relate to it.
The flowers and guinness will probably have your grandad smiling down on you. He’s maybe sent you that thought.Go with your gut feeling and toast your grandad.
Best wishes.
