Sorry in advance for the long windedness of this post - dd1 who's nearly 15 has just come downstairs crying for her Grandad who died nearly 10 yrs ago. They were really close but I'm suprised that she can actually remember him. She has a photo of him in her room when he was holding her when she was about 2, she asked me if she could, and now she's got really upset & has started telling me things I didnt know she remembered like when he was in hospital - he died of cancer 4 weeks after being diagnosed. The thing is, although I still miss my dad I can't put myself back in the place of when I was in floods of tears all the time so I dont know what to say to her. What triggered it off was she went to my Gran's 80th & there were a lot of photos from over the years which had my dad on.
