But oh my goodness, his first little grandchild , that was born 2 years after his passing was born in his image. No-one could get over the fact of how much the little boy was the absolute double of his grandad.Also, the boy needed inducing, but was quite small. He was born 6 days before his granddad's birthday. Even my son says " mum, I don't think he was quite ready to be born".... And I agree, because I just Know that he was meant to be born on his grandads birthday. Before the little lad was 2 , my son came across a photo of his dad. He showed it to his son without saying anything. The little lad immediately said "gan dad" and kissed the photo!! How lovely is that?
