I wish my grandmother and grandfather were still alive, because they were able to keep me grounded.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wish my father had lived longer. He died when I was 18.
Two of my grandparents died in a car crash. Sucks, 'cause they would have lived to a hundred.
I enjoyed my grandparents very much. My mother and father would always allow me to stay with them.
My grandfather's death was really hard to deal with.
After my parents passed away - in 2000 and 2003 - I felt I could take the time to think about the past and imagine what it would have been like to be my grandmother.
I had the privilege of having two sets of loving grandparents.
I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.
I have been grateful for the influence of my grandmother and my grandfather in my life. I remember my grandmother as a queenly woman. My father could be stern, and my grandparents would remind him that we were just boys.
My dad died when I was 23. His death was sudden and shocking - the result of a car crash - and I never got to say goodbye.
I was fortunate to be raised by loving grandparents.
