Memories of Lorne from his Grandson Simon Lorne


Grandpa, je taime.
Et j‘aimais le temps où tu étais près de moi.
On s’amusait.
J’aurais voulu que tu m’apprennes tant de choses,
Comme tu avais appris à Papa.
A me servir d’un marteau, à prendre des photos.
A connaitre les fleurs, à siffler comme un oiseau.
Toujours toi près de moi.
Tu étais là dans les moments importants de ma vie.
Et j’aurais voulu que tu y sois encore.
Car des moments importants il y en aura d’autres…
Mais ils seront sans toi.
On me dit que tu es au ciel,
Moi, je crois que tu es parti pour la lune !

~Simon Lorne Bradt (Presque 3 ans)

 

Grandpa, I love you.
And I loved the days when you were near me.
We had so much fun.
I wish that you could have taught me many things,
As you had taught Daddy.
To use a hammer, to take photos.
To recognize the flowers, to whistle like a bird.
Always you near me.
You were there in the important moments of my life.
And I wanted you to continue to be there.
As there will be other important moments…
But they will be without you.
I am told that you are in heaven,
I believe that you left for the moon!

~Simon Lorne Bradt (age almost 3)
