At the risk of seeming like Potch's Blog O'Death....

RIP, Grandpa.

I am 34 years old. If my nephew has grandparents still living when he is 34, he will be blessed, indeed.

Remind me to thank barkeyhead for getting that name to stick...

My condolences.

As a note, 34 isn't bad. I was out of grandparents by the time I was 16.

Thirty-four is really good, I think. I was not complaining; just stating the facts.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Condolences to you and your folks.

My mom's dad died in 1934 when she was just six, and my dad's dad in 1965 when I was less than a year old. I've always felt that I missed out on something.

My mom's dad died in 1972, a couple of years before I was born. I got a semblance of what he was like when on a four hour car ride, mom and I did nothing but talk about him.

To be fair, if you mother was six when her father passed away, that may not be an option, but I'll bet you can talk to your dad.... if you haven't already.

My condolences.

Jocelyn has just started to ask about her grandparents. She sees so many friends who have them. But, she still has one!

Thanks.

I am sure you have a TON of stories about moms and dads no longer with us. This may seem obvious, but I hope you celebrate Grandparents Day with abandon.
