I miscounted. It’s fourteen gifts. He always told us he’d live till he was 100-years-old, so these gifts would have taken him up to our little girl’s 16th Christmas.

My wife and I think it might make a nice Christmas tradition to give our daughter “a present from Ken” for the next 14 years. Issue is, we really have to open them now. Nobody wants to give a fifteen-year-old Duplo!

There’s some press interest in this story, so let me tell you a bit about the man: Ken was a former salvage diver, seaman, carpenter, baker... The first time I met him, he was bouncing a 20ft ladder across the face of his house. He was on top. He was 83 at the time.

Our dog loved him. I mean, genuine visceral love. It was mainly due to the chocolate digestive biscuits he gave her on first meeting. She’d scream whenever she saw him. Really scream. Like a banshee. He’d call her “my darling” and “sweetheart”. This is her first meeting.pic.twitter.com/DoG1F8mprO

He played the accordion. We’d hear the strains of oompah drift through the kitchen wall late at night. He said he’d live to 100. He planned to do this again...https://www.barryanddistrictnews.co.uk/news/14843839.daredevil-85-year-old-takes-to-the-skies/ …

And now
@TwitterMoments have jumped on board! I sincerely hope I’ve done Ken and his family justice in all this. (It’s starting to feel like the plot of a Richard Curtis Christmas film)https://twitter.com/i/moments/1074967464440750082 …Prikaži ovu nit -

We're definitely going to open one every year till 2032, by the way. It'll be our way of remembering an immensely generous gentleman - our new Christmas tradition. We'll add the pics to this thread for as long as Twitter is still a thing!

Because I’ve been asked numerous times, this is Wci (pronounced “Wookie”). She’s the sweetest little thing, we rescued her from
@CardiffDogs in 2012. She’s a Chinese Crested Powderpuff / Japanese Spitz cross - according to our vet. (She was Ken’s friend)pic.twitter.com/vKPLBvSdpJ

As the smallest member of Team Williams heads to bed, here’s our chance to wish you all a very Merry Christmas - Nadolig Llawen - in what must have been the most unexpectedly magical week of our lives! We await Ken’s first gift of 14 with no little anticipation!
