Why did someone RR this??!!!! It was a perfectly acceptable post making reference to not being able to remember how a grandparent looked! I was about to add before that I only met one of my grandparent's, but am lucky to have photo's.

I am anxious but also excited about getting a pic of my grandad. I really hope she remembers. I feel bad that I don't remember his face silly I know, but I have great memories of him x

I remember well my paternal grandparents and have photographs of both of them - I also remember my maternal grandmother but have no photograph of her
- have no idea who my paternal grndfather was as my mother had no idea who her father was - not that it ever seemed to trouble her, she had a great mother and lots of siblings and quite a few of them didnlt know who their father was

my grandmother was a sweetheart but a shade too liberal with her favours :-D :-D

A few days ago a cousin and myself were discussing our grandparents and I showed her my only picture of our Nan. She hadn't got any of her and I told her I had none of our grandad. She has promised now to give me a copy of her picture and I have given her a copy of mine. Its strange that I remember things my grandad did and said but not what her looked like. I feel quite guilty about this as on the other side of the tree I remember exactly what my Nan and her parents looked like and although my grandad passed away a few months before I was born I have several pictures of him. I am determined my children should know all about them all so they in turn can pass it all on to their children and grandchildren and so on.

Am I the only person who cannot remember what her own grandad looked like? Its making me feel quite terrible I do hope my cousin hurries up with the picture I have tried everything to remember how he looked to no avail. does this mean I cared less for this grandparent than the others? Its quite upsetting really :(
