Grandad, I remember when I was a kid and you came over to visit us in Australia with Grandma and Aunty Elva. There is this one vivid memory I have where you used to scare us with your fake teeth. You would take them out and chase us around the house with them. I also remember dad had this really old car where the aircon never worked and there were bits of fabric coming out from behind the front seats. When we were driving you would use the fabric to tie my feet up, so you could get my feet with your fake teeth. There was never a dull moment with you and you always knew how to be the life of the party. I wish I could´ve visited you one last time and I wish you could´ve met my partner in person. I´m glad I got to talk to you one last time over FaceTime a couple of weeks ago and you got to see my partner Bailey. You told him he needs a haircut (you aren´t wrong about that though). I hope you´ve reunited with Grandma, Aunty Elva and everyone else that´s up there with you and you´re all catching up and having a couple of drinks. Thankyou for being such a cool Grandad, you´ll forever be in my heart Grandad
Love always, your granddaughter, Tayla
