I am so sorry to hear that. My grandparents enriched my life so much. Granny ..I never knew my father’s father..and her husband who was for all intent and purposes, was my grandfather, and my maternal grandparents, were as different as night and day. I treasure their memories. How old were you when your grandparents and parents died?

I was just 21 when my Gram passed away. My mother died when I was 39, and my father died when I was 45. I had no idea that my mother was ill, and yet we spoke at least once or twice a week. My father was former military, and it wasn’t his way to confide.
