They both died when I was still relatively young (a child still). I struggle with that to this day because I feel like I was cheated. My paternal grandparents in the States died very early as well and it hurt seeing others have grandparents while I didn't...

I miss how positive, optimistic and encouraging they were. In the short time I had with them, they taught me that you can get through anything in life with the right mindset. They experienced a war, so that meant a lot coming from them.

Thank you for sharing this with me. It truly means a lot to hear your experience.

My dads parents died when I was a child, so I didn’t get to know them that well, but my dads mom was so kind and giving, which is something I share with others to this day.

I believe it’s because of her.

We our a collection of our ancestors.
