Be More Ruby

The first Father’s Day without Ruby’s Grandad 🪽💙

Whether you are the child without your dad, or the dad without your child, we are thinking of you today. We hope the day has been kind to you.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the celebration of Ruby’s Grandad’s life recently. You did him proud. It was the send off he deserved and we’re sure it went just the way he wanted.

We are very grateful for all of the donations received, which have been split equally between Ruby’s CCLG fund and Manorlands hospice.

Life will never be quite the same again. We carry them both in our hearts 💙🩷

Ruby and her Grandad have been reunited 💔

He left us on Sunday, peacefully, at home, with Ruby’s Grandma by his side, just as he wanted.

He will remain a huge part of our family, just as Ruby is, for ever more.

We can just picture the two of them, dancing and laughing, as they used to do. Together again for eternity.

Like Ruby, he leaves a legacy of optimism, fun, and a zest for life.

We will miss him very much, but we’re glad he no longer has to endure the horrible disease that is cancer.

Rest in peace, Dad 💙

Dear Ruby

Your page has been very quiet recently. Posts have slowed, fundraising has paused. It might feel like we’ve gone away.

We haven’t.

Far from it.

The things is, your Grandad isn’t well.

Cancer has returned to him in the same way it returned to you.
Relapsed disease.
No treatment available.

He will be joining you. We’re not sure when, and hope we have a while longer, but the cancer is spreading every day.

Your favourite person is coming back to you.

Unlike you, our amazing girl, your Grandad has lived a long life.
A happy one…
A great one.

He is full of stories, memories and wisdom.

We don’t want him to go, but, like you, we don’t want him to suffer. We know you will be watching, waiting, ready with a big Ruby cuddle for him.

We will be back sometime, but we’re not sure when.

You remain, always, in our hearts 🩷
