In Memory

It's a silly month.

Last year on July 5th my Grandpa celebrated 101 years of life. On the very same day one of my best mates celebrated her 49th birthday.

This year neither are with us.

My lovely Grandpa with amazing long-term memory and great sense of humour died a few days before Christmas last year. Whilst I was and am very sad he had had a good life with a lovely lady by his side.

My mate, on the other hand, was just too damn young. Her fight with cancer came to an end in the final days of August last year.



Well, this year a concert in her memory was held on 11th July at our local community centre. I don't know how money was raised but the monies will be equally split between Macmillan Nurses http://www.macmillan.org.uk/ and St Michael's Hospice near Hereford http://www.st-michaels-hospice.org.uk/


So - this was a short blogpost in memory of two great people. So different. So loved. Both touched so many people in so many different ways.
