highly clickworthy...

and poignant.

I have just returned from the funeral of The present Mrs Pooflake's Grandad. He too was a war hero.

After the war, he worked as a mechanic. There was a fire at the garage and two of his colleagues were trapped inside.

He went in after them...and saved them.

In the process, he burned one of his legs down to.the.bone. He never fully recovered.

I can't imagine or comprehend bravery of the magnitude of him and your Grandad.

Humbling...and puts a lot of shite that we think is serious into perspective.
