Well, my grandfather on my ma's side passed away last fall. He wasn't doing well for the longest time. And while I wasn't there to see him, I was told he was a skeleton of a man who barely remembered his own daughter. So when he passed away, it was almost a mercy. So I've been there before, too.

I know yer kicking yourself for not appreciating him as a kid. But the important thing is that you appreciate what he did for your family now. And as long as you keep honoring his memory, you're already doing everything that a good grandson should be doing. So don't beat yourself up too hard.
