I can relate! I think about death more now in my 50s. I think about when my dad was my age he only had a few years left. That puts things onto perspective. My grandparents made it to 89,96,99 and 100. I assumed I'd have a long life but my parents didn't. It's a crap shoot I guess. I hope I remembered someday too for something. I have my mom's paintings and memories. My son doesn't remember my mom, he was only 2 and he never met my dad. I tell stories of them and try to keep their memories alive for him

Oh wow, your grandparents all lives! So sorry you lost your parents. That does put things into perspective.
