Dear “Tom”

Deaf old lady

I am you other grandfather, the one you have never met. You are three years old, and although I have never met you, I love you dearly and always will. You are my flesh and blood, and always will be. We will meet one day, I am sure. I am writing this daily "blog" to you to make up for the fact that I can't speak to you right now. I hope that one day you will be able to read this.

This evening Nana Ann came up from London on the train and we went to see her nephew who is I suppose related to you in some way. Anyway, this young man is married and he has two children, one a boy who is two years old and one new baby girl who is just a few weeks old. Now when my young relativers get to two or three years old, I like to give them a special chair or a stool that's just the right size for them to use and no-one else.

When we got to the house, I didn't show the chair to your little cousin (the one two years old) but I secretly put it down in the corner of the room without him noticing. After a while he saw it and of course he went over to see what it was. Straight away, he found the secret box under the chair where he can keep his special toys and keep them away from his baby sister! Of course we told him "this chair is for you, and only you can sit on it," and he was very pleased.

The chair has a wooden back and two arms at the side. In fact, Nana Ann said it looked like a throne, the kind of special chair for kings and queens to sit on! So the lad's mummy straight away found him a crown which he put on his head and sat on the chair lust like a king on his throne!

If ever I get to see you before you get much older, you can be sure I will get you a special chair just for you to sit on.

Love from

Grandad Kit and Nana Ann
