My role model, My hero and My Pops. Looking deeply into who I am, I can undoubtly say that Pop's love and support has nurtured me to be the man I am proud to be, and he still lives on within me. From his undying support in thousands of scenarios that caused me anxiety, his boundless bravery and confidence in talking to anyone he may come across and his ability to spread joy, laughter and sunshine wherever he went, I can say without hesitation that he lived life to the full and appreciated every single moment with his family. I can remember countless phone calls just to say what he was doing, trips out whereby we simply enjoyed each other's company (he was never to busy for anyone), playing pool, frequenting every coffee shop in Taunton, going on visits to the seaside, DIY sessions (fixing something I broke and had no idea how to fix) and a multitude of restaurant meals with the family. These are all some of my most precious and warming memories with him. When thinking of him I think of a man always carrying his off-white cloth bag, I think of a man who came over every Monday to find out how our week has been, I think of a man who could chat for Britain, I think of a man who would do anything someone needed doing and I think of a man who made me feel safe and at home whenever i was with him. I would just simply like to say to him from the bottom of my heart: Thank You. You have been the greatest Pops I could have possibly wished for. You have made the entirety of my life the best thing I have ever been given and you have given me a treasure trove of memories and life lessons that I will always remember. When I breathe, you breathe with me. When I walk, you are in my steps. When I smile, I smile to the amazing life you lived. There are one million and one ways you still live on in me, so many others and in the world. Love you so much Pops. Love you for the rest of time. You will always be in my heart and I will be forever grateful to you, Matie Idris Aries (Your Grandson) xxxxxxxxxxxxx
