My Pappy died when i was 16, I was totally heart broken, he was like a dad to me. Grandma and Pappy lived in the country and the open fire was there only form of heating , i used to wear Pappys old jumper to keep me warm in bed, after he died i felt close to him by wearing his jumper, and still today 33 years on that old jumper gives me comfort.
