Hi Grandad. A new star joined you in the sky a couple days ago. I know you have been waiting for her... Nanny has joined you now. I hope you reunite quickly. I hope she finds you quickly, I don't want her to be lonely. Hopefully she already has. Give her a big hug for me. I miss you. I miss Nanny. I made Nanny a little robin a few days before she left us. We always said that we saw you in the robins that pranced around our gardens. Nikolas gave it to Nanny the day before she joined the sky and I caan't help but wonder if she sensed you in it and felt at ease knowing it or you were there. I have given it to Mummy now, hoping she feels a little bit of comfort throught it. Please take good care of Nanny. Please take good care of Mummy too. I know the pain I feel is only a fraction of the pain Mummy feels so please watch over her. I am going to write a little message to Nanny now, I hope you don't mind. Maybe you can show her it for me. Hi Nanny. I miss you already. I miss your little happy dances, your gentle hugs and kisses. I miss those looks you would give me when you caught me recording you. I already miss showing you all the new things I have made because I know how much you loved them. I hope you don't mind but I have taken home the blanket I made for you. Thank you for using it, it made me happy. I am going to use it now and think of you every time I place it on my lap. I am sorry I can't make you anything else. But you can see me from where you are can't you? So you can keep seeing what I make even if I don't know it. That thought comforts me a little bit. Everyone has been walking around the house with their shoes on, including me. Sorry about that. I'll remember to take them off next time I am there. I miss you a whole bunch and I am sad that I can't just hop on a train and see you anymore. Sometimes my sadness overwhelms me and I cry but crying makes Mummy cry so I really try not to. I hope you have found Grandad alright and that he is taking good care of you now and that you are happy and comfortable. I wonder what star you have taken up in the sky. Shine brightly for me so I can find you when I look. I love you.
