Cycle of life

My grandfather (my mum's dad) passed away today. For some very strange reason, kept thinking about how he used to entertain me when I was a kid by making his dentures disappear and reappear (some things seem so funny when you were a kid). And how he would always insist on us eating. A porky kid is a healthy kid.

Am glad that I made it for the funeral this time.
