How will she feel when she gets married and there's no dad to walk her down the aisle?
How will she feel when her first child is born and she can't put him/her in her dad's arms?
How will her children feel about not having their granddad - grandparents are very important to children.
hmmm - just maybe you're needed. For a long time yet.
Try a new tactic. Every day, when you get and look in the mirror and see that you are ‘still there’ - Ask yourself: “What can I do today - even a little thing, like maybe a phone call, or a lunch -, or take a flower, maybe a potted flower, maybe someone needs a ride somewhere, or a lawn mowed or a walk shoved (depending on where you are ;o) - - and make it a practice to find something to do for someone ELSE every day.
You might even find you feel good ;o)
Life is like the weather...no matter how bad the storm, the sun ALWAYS comes up again...but ya gotta open the curtains.
You bet they are. My grandparents on both sides of the family died before I was born, and I always felt that a big part of my life was missing because I had never been able to know them.
