I woke up near the sea...

It’s the anniversary of my Bamp’s death today.  This was one of his favourite songs.

I was only six when he died.  I was there when it happened, and I remember that day so well.  I am so lucky that I got to spend that last night and morning with him.  A week later we were due to move to Malaysia.  It was a very strange and confusing time for a six year old Sam.  

I miss him, all of my memories of him are happy, he was a fun, kind, smiling man and I know that he would be proud of the person that I have become.  I wish he was still here.
