I never knew my maternal grandparents - in fact my mum never knew who her father was being the sad result of her war widowed mother's relationship with a man she didn't know was married until she found out Mum was on the way. She died when Mum was only 21 and only 61 herself- I wish I'd known her as she was a very much loved person by all her family I've often been told. My paternal grandparents didn't really have much to do with me - I can only remember them looking after me once. We left the town they lived in when I was only 8 and visits consisted of me sitting between my parents on the horsehair sofa and being given a bar of chocolate. As I got carsick as soon as I was old enough to stay home I stopped going. My grandmother died when I was 14 and grandfather a year later. Looking back now I regret it so much and wished I'd known them better. My sons were lucky to have all 4 grandparents in their lives until they were adults and were very close to my parents who they often stayed with. They even saw two great grandchildren born.
