+
+A late night draft:
+
+Grandad Bob, there's are pressure who leave an imprint in your life in ways you recognise, and many you don't. 
+I'll never say a bad word to anyone 
+I'm never angry with anyone
+I'm never frustrated with anyone
+I see everyone as a friend
+I always have a smile for everyone
+
+I'm continuing the Beswick tradition of bad jokes!
+
+Thankfully grandad, your, and everyone around I think for who I am today
+I can't speak to you anymore, but you live one though me in all the ways I see the world today
+
+**Adapt grandad Hodgetts poem?**

+
+You left a mark on me that will last forever. Because of you, I approach the world with patience and friendship (and plenty of bad jokes, in true Beswick fashion). I can’t talk to you anymore, but I carry you with me every day.
+## My revision

+You left a mark on us that will last forever. Because of you, I approach the world with patience and friendship (and plenty of bad jokes). Though you are not here, I carry you with me every day.
+
+Love always Bobbie and Erin xx

+Whispering Hope by Septimus Winner
+
+Soft as the voice of an angel,
+Breathing a lesson unheard,
+Hope with a gentle persuasion,
+Whispers her comforting word.
+
+Wait till the darkness is over,
+Wait till the tempest is done,
+Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow,
+After the shower is gone.
+
+Then when the night is upon us,
+Why should the heart sink away?
+When the dark midnight is over,
+Watch for the breaking of day.
