farewell pompom...


I have been posting this photo a bit lately, it is a picture of my grandparents, from before they were married I believe... They had many names over the years. They were known as Buddy and Jumbo to their friends, but Annie and Pompom are the names I recall using the most. Annie passed away many moons ago, but my Pompom hung around right up until yesterday morning.  

It is a sad time, but we all know that he has had an amazing journey. He was a fine story teller with a wonderful sense of humour. We will always remember him with love and joy in our hearts.  Now he can be with his Annie again.

So glad that I will be home next week to spend time with my mumma and cuddle her during this sad time.
