I wish I met them though, from what I've heard they were really cool. I've seen pics of them together and they looked awesome in a picture from the 40's with my grandfather wearing a stylish suit and my grandmother was really pretty and wearing a nice dress, they were out on a picnic. He was an immigrant and came over to Ellis island here in NY from Italy.
As for my fathers side, he wasn't in my life at all. I have him on Facebook and my "grandmother" from that side but I don't consider any of them family.

Sorry you weren’t able to meet them.
I kind of feel that way about my dads side. He was in my life but as soon as the divorce was final the rest of them forgot we existed. My grand monster died a couple yrs ago. I never knew my real grandfather...he killed himself around the time my sister was born.
Now that I’m an adult my aunt has reached out on Facebook and we tried to semi connect after my dad died but for me it’s a little too late.
Strangely enough I’m cool with my uncle that I rarely speak to. I guess I forgive a man for being callous with children over a woman.
