Thank you for all your lovely replies. I have had a few good cries now.
Greig's infant son was 1 year old on 14th Feb. I have suggest to Greig's sister, my daughter-in-law, that she could perhaps started a memory box, to give to the child when he becomes of an age to want to know and understand about his Dad.
Jillaine, thought it a brilliant idea. I have suggest a lovely vintage box, filled with. School and childhood photos, holidays. school reports, graduation certificates, any badges and certificates from when he was a promising young swimmer (at County level). Snips of material from his favourite shirt and socks and a tie.
Jillaine is very artistic, so beautifully written anecdotes, about things he got up to etc etc. She will be able to involve Greig's Mum in helping her, and perhaps it will gradually help to ease pain. Mrs Bouquet
