My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My grandfather had a particularly important influence on my life, even though I didn't visit him often, since he lived about three miles out of town and he died when I was six. He was remarkably curious about the world, and he read lots of books.
Unfortunately, I never knew my father and when I did, it was very briefly.
I still relate to my father very much. I mean, I talk to him in a certain way, as we do talk to the dead.
I didn't know my father very well; I only met him a few times.
In my father's later years he asked several times that I remember him the way I knew him. He said that after his death, people would talk. They would say 'things' about him and he wouldn't be there to defend himself.
I never knew my father. He was never married to my mother; he was never a part of my life. It was just my mom, my brother and me.
I never saw my grandfather because he had died before I was born, but I have good memories of my grandmother and of how she could play the piano at the old house.
I speak with my father about everything in my life.
I've never read one book about my father.
I have lots of memories of my father. He was an incredible father. We all loved him to death.
