Pimpa

I went to dinner tonight with my Nan and my uncle. Nan told me about my grandpa. She tells me about him sometimes when we are out to dinner. My uncle said I used to call him ‘Pimpa’. Nan said that’s what all kids call their Grandfathers. She told me that when I was little, he was in hospital. She said I couldn’t have been more than about 4. He was sick and I used to climb up into the hospital bed and snuggle in. He wasn't well but he used lift his arm and let me sleep for a bit, up there. I don't remember. I always, for a second or two, imagine I do when she tells me, but I really don't. I just remember him being really tall. Granpa Pat died in 1991.
