im so sorry for the loss of your grandpa.. that was a great photo of him, he looks happy in it. Thanks for sharing with us.
David, my family's name died out in my generation because I, a fecund female did not, according to tradition, pass on my family's name. Yet that blood still lives on (strongly in 3 males -- all with different last names). And I'm willing to bet when all's said and done, yours does/has too. Someone, somewhere, somehow has the genes.David R;1198003;1198003 said:It sucks, but soon you'll only remember the good stuff. I lost my grandfather (dads dad) just over two months ago, aged 93, married nearly 68 years, and only the last 18 months in poor health. No matter how many times you say "its for the best" or "he's in a better place" it doesn't really help, just keep thinking of all the good times.
Now there's only two men with my surname left in New Zealand (my father and I), so it's up to me to carry on the name!!![]()
