My grandfather was always a constant, calming, positive influence over me.

Being ill at five, he told me "Your body will fight harder now".

Moving schools at eight, he told me " You'll make new friends now".

Having my bike stolen at twelve, he told me " You'll appreciate your things so much more now".

Getting punched at sixteen, he told me " You'll have more sense now".

On his final day at twenty-four, he told me "For every Ying, there's a Yang".

Nine months later, his last words of wisdom finally made sense, as I held, my Yang.
