If my grandad was alive, he would’ve turned 91 this month.

His birthday is August 24th.

He died 10 years ago.

I still miss him. I think about him a lot.

In the end, he died of kidney failure.

We were all with him when he died, all the family were with him.

He died at home.

I remember celebrating his 70th and 80th birthdays.

We went out for a meal for his 80th, and for his 70th we went to the race track.

Those were fun occasions.

I videoed him on his 80th birthday, and I treasure that video now.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
