My Nan was married to a brilliant man. William Randall was the life and soul of my family, and I wish I had been able to meet him. He died before I was born after suffering a heart attack. As I mentioned in my last post, The British Heart Foundation was set up to help fund research and schemes to keep more people alive who suffer major heart and circulation problems, keeping families together for longer.
My Nan used to live about 20 minutes away from my other Grandparents, but she moved down to Cornwall in 1997. Had she not have moved, this would be the easiest cycle ride in the world! Amongst other things, being in Cornwall holds many special memories for my Nan. Memories of family holidays with my Grandfather. It is also my favourite place in the world, and alot of the reason for that probably stems from the affection that both my Nan and my Dad have for those times they all spent in Cornwall. I love hearing all the old stories and looking through all the pictures of those holidays.
I may never have met my Grandfather, but he is still a big part of who I am, and who I am inspired to be.
I know he'll be watching over us on our journey, and i'll be thinking of him too.
