Thank you @redheadpei! I absolutely agree. It sure hasn't been the same but all a part of life. I often wonder if they had some of the same thoughts that I'm currently having when they were my age. I think probably so! 😊

Dee, I think they felt the same as we do. My mother being a war bride came to Canada to be with my father and never saw her mother again. Mom never expressed her deepest feelings but I remember the look on her face when she got the telegraph informing her mother had died. My father was never the same after Nanny passed. I was old enough to remember his emotional state. Her death seemed to take away something he couldn’t replace, even with his own family.
That is very sad and I saw that same look with my mom for quite a while. I think she had her favorites with grandchildren but some lived closer so she saw more of them. I think they kept her going though. Both my parents never talked a whole lot about their lives before they met but I've heard that from friends who grew up around the same time as me.
