He has been married for forty seven years, has two sons and six grandchildren. His eldest grandchild said, 'Grandpa, I think that you understand everything'. _______________________________________________________________________________ BLURB 'The title suggests that these memoirs are for his grandchildren, but they are valuable musings for any and every one. As you go through the pages, you'll find a lot of humour, as life is supposed to have its frivolity and fun. I can only hope folks will enjoy the pages, as I have, and we learn to appreciate a thing or two about life from an all-rounder who has experienced his fair share of thorns and roses.' - Michael Holding (West Indian Test Cricketer, Cricket Commentator, and pundit for Sky Sports and SuperSport)
