"Yes!" Brian Lane cheered punching the air with delight as he did.
"Have you won the lottery Granddad?" The young boy said running in.
"Not quite son, though I dare say your Nana might see it that way." He lifted his beloved grandson up onto his knee showing him the email he had just received. The fact that he had been given a second chance at fatherhood, even at his age meant more to Brian than anything in the world.
"What might Nana not see in that way?" Esther said dumping James' weekend bag in the hall. She too loved having him home for the weekend.
"Come and see" Brian called excitement high in his voice.
"Well would you believe it" she said ruffling James' hair. "Nana and Granddad are going to watch a programme being filmed that we used to watch years ago."
"Can I come, please?"
"It's not your cup of tea love; it's a bit too boring for little boys, now come and help Nana see what we are having for tea."
As his wife took their grandchild into the kitchen Brian re read the confirmation email that he had received informing Esther and he that they had won tickets to 'This is your life".
"I did it, it worked." He grinned as the email stated that they would be watching no other than Robert Strickland's life story. He could not wait to see the look on Esther's face when they got to the studio on Tuesday.
I do hope this is okay! :) Feel free to review. x
