[QUOTE="BoudiccaJones, post: 708207, member: 5592"]This is one of those times I wish there was a LOVE button. Or I had the words to explain how I feel...that picture is everything. We are descendants of those brave, BRAVE people and their blood runs through our veins. ( As an aside,what a handsome man!) I can see why you are so proud of him. I know he was proud of you too. My Gran was the first person to call me Boudicca ( though she used Boadicea) and I think of her every day. I was lucky enough to have two Grans and one G'dad and I loved them all but my Gran & I had a special bond. Think looking back she was a bit of a curmudgeon and judging by evidence,the only person she really liked was me :eek: This has been cathartic for me, sorry if I upset you AJ...am off to sob over my MANY MANY full boxes and Cadbury :D xxxx and THANK YOU for showing me your Grandfather and sharing their amazing story of bravery x x x (Edited!
