So I phone my aunt yesterday (Friday 9th) to find out if all was well as this was date of there wedding anniversary and since my uncle passed away special date's have a different sort of impact and you know what they say it's sometimes good to share.
Any way after a little while my Aunt said to me have you had something in the post today????
No I said why should I of had? Yes my Aunt said Uncle Ted has sent you something...
to which I replied Hang on what errrrh how.. He's no longer with us I don't understand?????
Well she said before he died he left some money (in postal orders) not much and some instructions with his eldest son to send one envelope to each cousin and he was not allowed to look either as this was in-trusted to him to do the right thing, So we where all given the same amount and the same instructions that we where to buy something for ourself and not to waste it ie: pay bills or spend it on drink.
I did not have to think for long what I wanted... As my uncle was the man who took me under his wing showed me how to use a straight and a DE it would have to be shaving related and I had the perfect thing in mind and sort of fitting as my name is Michael Collins.
So once again God bless you Uncle Ted
