Remembering My Grandfather

Tweet

I do not have a lot of memories of my grandfather because he was apart from my grandmother from the earliest time I can remember. That's not to say he wasn't in our lives to some degree, however. My impression of him is that he was a quiet, hard-working man who liked to take a drink sometimes. I went to live in another state at a young age, but I'll never forget how he would always come to see me when I returned for a visit. There were several of us grandkids, and he would give us all money to go and buy candy at the store. He died when I was 20. I have one brother who looks very much like "the old man" the older he gets. I really wish I had gotten to know him better. I have a nice photo of him and I also have one of my great-grandfather whom I never got to meet. Do you have a relative that you wish you could have known better?
