Wow! That’s incredible; You’re a fortunate human to have him around! Cancer got him ‘97 but fortunate for the childhood memories I do have of him.

My granddad too. He was awarded the military cross. (British). He died about 20 years ago, though.

You may be the most badass soldier in the army, but when your daughter says "ride the tricycle", you ride the tricycle.

My father went to Italy for that one and is still kicking at 97 today. Hope you were able to enjoy your gramps.
