My Mum and my sister went to see Santa in Lapland a few years ago.

At that time, my Grandad was very ill. Santa asked my sister what she wanted for Christmas and then, without any knowledge of my Grandad, took my Mum by the hand and said sadly, “I know what you want and I’m afraid I can’t do that for you but I promise you he will not suffer.”

My Grandad died peacefully a few months later, his body absolutely riddled with cancer.
