Ya gotta love grandad

If you have read any of my blogs you will know about my grandad and the journey of the search for his sister.
So grandad Went and was reunited with his sister after 70 years, I really couldn't imagine how that would feel like!
I went to surprise him at Gatwick airport, well we stood there at the international arrivals for him to come through, we waited and waited and hadn't come through, we had no idea if he was on the flight or if he was assisted or even stopped by immigration, so of to information we go! They told us not to worry just yet he could be another hour or so, so we could breathe again and not worry!
So after our long worrying wait he comes through, off I go to greet him.
Got to laugh he looked at me and said 'what was I doing here' bless him lots to explain.
But he got to meet hamarnie finally, and I got to see my grandad after 6 years. And achieved so much for him,
He got the chance to go home and say his goodbyes to his mum after going to the grave, he didn't get the chance to visit his dads, he was killed in action and very long time ago.
Anastasia ( grandad sister) still live on the same land they grew up on and met so many relatives, think it was all a bit over whelming.
So here's a few pictures of him with family and his sister. And grandad can be at peace now!!
