[quote=Anonymous]I"m sorry for your loss. My grandmother died the year prior to my first kid being born. I'm sure she would have enjoyed seeing her. My wife's maternal grandparents lived into their 90s and got to know my oldest pretty well, it was a unique time. We have a painting my grandmom did, a piano from my great-grandmother, things around that kind of fit in and I can tell them about them. Life is in some ways like carrying a candle down a dimly lit hall. We can only see the generation or two behind us, and the generation or two in front of us (and maybe not even that...) but that's about the extent of it. One day you might be a picture in an album, but in a digital age, you're more likely to have less printed pictures of you than your own great grandmother. When the backup battery goes, so do you. Yikes![/quote]
