Yes, I've always missed it. Growing up, mostly all my friends would talk about or visit their grandparents. They talked about how much they loved them, and wished they could stay with them instead of their parents. It created a yearning in me that still exists.

For that reason, my grandchildren won't miss out.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond. You've given me an insight into your personality also shaped by those memories of your dad.

Take care.
