I wonder if that is why Granddad organised the variety of entertainment for the veterans club, and why my sister taught herself to sing too.

This #ChildrensGriefAwarenessWeek, we're thinking about the importance of Sharing Stories Strengthening Hope. As @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social & our other panellists explain, stories open conversations about loss, helping bereaved young people express feelings, understand experiences & feel connected

My 2yr old grandson loves Oh Dear, Look What I Got!
He's also very fond of bears, so for each incorrect item in the story, whether it's a carrot, a snake, a cat or a goat, he always shouts BEAR!
For anyone who hasn't read the book, this won't make any sense at all. You'll have to buy a copy :-)
