It’s been a very very long time since I’ve been on your memorial page Grandad, I don’t know what made me come on to it today but something told me to stop by. I honestly cannot believe it’s been almost 14 years since you passed away. Life has changed so so much since you left. Including loosing Kayleigh. I hope she’s with you up there winding you up with her crazy ways. I’m just about to make the biggest move in my whole life, taking our lineage to the other end of the planet. I know you’d be proud. The kids aren’t really kids anymore, Riley is almost 16, I don’t know where the years have went. I miss you so much, I miss everything about you. Sometimes like today I just want a Grandad Day. I love you always & forever. My Grandad, My Shug xxxxx

5 years already!!! ...
It's been 5 years tonight since I last saw you Grandad, lying here thinking of that night like it was yesterday & it still hurts every single day. I've had a tough year this year, one of the worst, what makes it harder is not having you here to make things better. You always made things better, even just sitting next to you in a room made every problem disappear. Breaking my heart writing this... I miss you every single day of my life & I honestly can't believe it's been 5 years. You were my everything in this world!! Love you soooo much... Xxxxxx

3 years but never forgotten Grandad! xxx
I have spent the last couple of days thinking of something I could do in your memory for today, But when it comes to it, just thinking of you and your 'shug' ways is enough. today I had a typical shug the dug lunch 'fully fried' and a sweet cup of tea. Its not just on your Birthday and the 17th of December I think about you, Its every day!! every single day there is something simple that warms my heart or touches on a memory of you. I love you so much Grandad and cannot believe its been 3 years since I last saw you, My memories and thoughts are no longer sad, I feel so much stronger and cherish the amzing memories I have of you. You are a HUGE part or Riley & Rhyans up bringing and always will be. Love you so much Grandad, to pentlands around the world and back again. x x x x

Happy Birthday Grandad!! 85 today in Heaven....
Happy Birthday Grandad Shug!!
Just thought I'd leave 'Birthday wishes' for you today, I can't believe its almost been 3 years since we last saw you, I'm going to do something today with the kids and my mum for your birthday. A little trip to the Laird and Dog maybe, brings back happy memories.
Hope your enjoying those long walks up the hills xx
Always give you a wave and kids never miss a journey past the Pentlands without shouting, Grandad, Grandad, Grandad!!
Hope you can join us at the Laird & dog in spirit xx
Luv you sooooo much

2 years ....missing you dearly... xx
Miss you so so much Grandad... Just thought I'd write you a little message to let you know that you are in my thoughts every single minute of the day. The kids still speak about you. I will never let your memory die. I love you so so so much Grandad. I can't believe you've been away for two years. I know your around us. I can't believe for years I took you for granted that you were always there for us. It's not untill now that I realise how special and unique you were. Everybody wanted to have a 'shug' Grandad like you!!... But you were my grandad ... the best they come. I'm so so proud to be your grandaughter.. I love and miss you so much xxxxxx
