My grandfather died last week and besides feeling upset, I also feel very angry.
Angry with myself because, I've always been (for a long time now) saying I'll go up and visit him tomorrow. But tomorrow never came as I was too tired coming home from work, or had things to do.
I had some photos of him as a baby with older rellies (or are they?) which now nobody knows who they are, and sadly will never find out. Right up until he died, he was in sound mind and could tell long stories about what he did years ago, info on other relatives. And he would have gladly shared all this if id taken the time to visit him.
I just don't want anyone else to make the same mistakes I have, please see your elderly relatives. Make the time! Once they're gone, a chance to find out valuable information is also gone forever.
