I was very sad when I lost my dad, he was only 53 years old when he passed away. That was 27 years ago. It was very hard time for me. My three children were all very small at the time and they do not really remember there grandfather because they were all so young. They see pictures of him and ask questions about him all the time. They have told me that the wish they would have known there grandfather and that they wish he would have been around when they were growing up. There other grandfather also passed away when they were small. They knew one of there great grandfathers better than there grandfather.
