  • Today is ANZAC day Granddad - 5 years have gone by and in that 5 years you have become a great great grandfather to the most beautiful little girl who’s name is Hannah.

  • Today Grandad is ANZAC Day and on this day every year I think of you and wish with all my heart I had met you.

    I am the exact age you were (49 years) when we lost you and that was less than 3 Months after I was born. I was your first grandchild and mum was just about to take me to meet you (you had only heard me cry on the phone) when you died.

    I so wish I had met you, I have always carried you around in my heart. Thank you for being mums amazing dad, she has always put you on a pedestal where I believe you belong.

    Thank you also for serving our country Captain Alwym Thomas Agnew (My Grandad)
