Sadly never really known the love of a grandparent. Three were dead before I was born, and I have only a very vague memory of my dad's dad as he died when I was pretty young.
Me the same. I knew only my mum's mum (born in 1898). My dad's dad was born in 1870. Fought in the Boer war! (As did [MENTION=528]attila[/MENTION]'s dad, I think - correct me if I'm wrong JB.)
