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?
about the same happened to my mom. her dad divorced her mom at a young age. so she was forced to live with family. somebody called her up one day and asked her her name. and they told her that they found the letters her real dad wrote to her over the years. comes to find out she had four other half-siblings. and that her dad died over a year ago. and they never knew about her. weird to find out about a grandpa dying that you never knew of.
