This is Thomas Kennedy my Grandpa ā¤ļø
As some of you may know my beloved grandpa passed away on April 13th 2026, honestly in a way Iāve kind of been avoiding posting this but now is the time x
My Granny is over at the moment and it really reminds me, of how important family is and how important it is to take that time, so I wanted to take a moment to remind others to reach out and take that timeā¦
ā¦trust me Iām the worst for it but we need to remember itās not just a text or a call or a meet up, there memories that will live on forever and each one means so much š«¶š»
In a world that can be so challenging we need to be there for each other and thatās all my grandpa did. Be there for his family and give unconditional love remember that.
My Grandpa worked on trains for most his life as a train driver, in fact this train you see he droveā¦
⦠and crashed it into Liverpool Lime Street on October 5th 1991, donāt worry the train was empty with just himself and a guard but my god was this his favourite story!
Being nicknamed The Flying Scotsman. The front of this train is now situated at Blackpool Train Station where he was stationed and the reason why I am in Blackpool today ā¤ļø
When he finally got to see it my god was he happy and this is what I decided to illustrate for my grandpa with the flowers I lay the day I found out he passed.
Iām so glad i took this time to create and put so much love into each aspect, slowing making my way through each layer and reflecting ā¤ļø
So this ones for you grandpa x
p.s he would have loved to know i posted this, he loved my work and was so proud of me so this really means a lot thanks peeps :)
