Some of you may remember this thread that I posted last year about my dream:
My dream last night
Well my grandpa just passed away this past Sunday 9/11. I miss him so much- he was like a father to me- because my dad left when I was just 2. My grandpa is in heaven now- and I look forward to seeing him when God calls me home.
I am soooooooo glad that I made the time to interview him and my grandma last year. My sweet DH editted the footage and condensed it into about a 25 minute DVD that was playing during the visitation.
I found out how they met- they were both actors in their high school plays- who knew?! I found out about their life on the farm, the depression, etc.
My grandma is just in a state of shock and feels so lonely now. They had just celebrated 64 years of marriage. It would have been very difficult to interview her alone- it would be a very sad interview at this point in time. But because I did it when my grandpa was still alive- it was a very happy interview- with many joyous trips down memory lane for both of them.
Please, please, please call your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles- whoever is still alive- and get their story- you'll be glad you did.
