From as far back as I can remember, Fridays were always spent at Nanny Val and Grampy Mac’s house — the highlight of my week. Val was like a mum to me, and Mac was one of the kindest most generous people I’ve ever known.
Fridays meant fish and chips for tea and all the chocolate me and nan could eat. They even put up with me having friends over every weekend, being a typical teenager!
After my mum passed away, I moved in with Nan and Gramps. They became my home and gave me all the love and care I needed.
Some of my favourite memories are going on my first holiday to spain with them and to watch Cardiff City together, also when Mac taught me to drive at 18. He adored my children, Chad and Amina, and the love he had for them was clear to everyone.
Now Gramps is back with his soulmate, Nanny Val. We will miss him deeply, but his love will stay with us forever.
With love,
Your granddaughter, Leanne x
