So i got a call from my mom this morning letting me know my grandfather passed away almost a year ago late Jan 2007; she happened to check w/ SS to see if he was still living. My family is a little crazy and mixed up so I haven't spoken to my grandfather in quite sometime; probably 6-8 years ago. After finding out this info i really don't feel anything b/c i really never knew him and what i did know about him wasn't worth remembering. my mother was adopted so we aren't blood related but i think what i most troubling to me about this is i wonder if he died feeling regret for everything he had missed over the years?

anyone else have similar situation w/ a family member?
