PleasecanIkeep this,Gran?

Ha,Ha,Ha!

Mum starts to laugh at some of the old photos.

Gran explains that they are going to make a new memory box for Joe.

“This is your dad when he was the same age as you, Joe. You look just like him here,” chuckles Mum.

Sniff... Sniff...

Whenever he misses his dad, he can cheer himself up by looking through all the old memories.

Joe puts in Dad’s favourite football scarf alongside his lucky pebbles that they found at the seaside, and Mum’s favourite photograph, which is of baby Joe, his dad and Buddy as a little puppy.

Buddy drops in his favourite chewed slipper that belonged to Dad.

Mum tells Joe they can go and see Dad next week. She marks the date on the calendar and the week goes by very quickly.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Night-night, sweetheart

The night before the visit, Joe has trouble getting to sleep so Mum makes him a milky drink. She lets Buddy sleep in Joe’s bedroom just for one night.

Joe is excited and nervous at the same time.

Gran is coming too, and she brings sandwiches, a bag of toffees and of course, her knitting.

Joe wants to take Buddy along but Mum says he’s not allowed.

We are going on an adventure. Buckle up, Gran!

I’ll see you tonight, Buddy! Back soon!

Thanks, John!
