John William's Story

John William Monaghan was my grandfather, my father and mother myself three sisters and two brothers never got the chance to see or chat to him. I feel as there is some things we have all lost and never had the momments to tell him we loved him, to put are arms around him, kiss him on his cheeks to play with us and make us laugh, to have him with us at christmas time, go for walks with him in the summer. All the things we did with my other grandfather. John William Monaghan will allways be a memory, some one we never looked at, a face we never could see, only to love and remeber a name. He will be in my heart for ever I just wish I had a picture of him when I light a candle for him it will show the bright light on his face and I would say, "thats my Grandfather".
