RE: My Grandfather

It's always a delight to see pictures of the old days. It has the tendency to spike up one's imagination.
...but he would out live all of them. It's like he was experiencing what his grand mother did. He outlived all of his relatives that were around his age.
I think this is sad but is also not so bad. Outliving people means living with the hurt of losing loved ones, but it also means having longer with other loved ones and getting to live more.
Nice story.

Your correct it puts you back in that time period. I experienced this at young age seeing that stuff in the attic.
That is true but I can't imagine losing all your children like his grandma did. I don't know many people that reached 45 years old and have a living grandparent still especially after losing both parents I'm sure my great great grandma seen my grandpa as a son. This part of my family was pretty small by the time I was born. My father's side is large as he had eight other siblings.
Thanks for your thoughts and dropping by. I really appreciate it.
Yeah, there's that. I guess all the loss can be so overwhelming, whatever "good" there is to it might be easily ignored.
Dropping by was my pleasure. Cheers!
