Anonymous asked: I wish I was born in the 80s, so I could meet my grandparents. I've always wanted to know how it feels to have grandparents.

I love how different these answers are. Some are so personal, like yours Anon, whilst others are about something or someone great and big in the past.

I’m blessed that I got to spend time will all my grandparents. I wish I was able to appreciate my mother’s parents a little bit more when they were alive but I’ve knows my father’s parents my whole life. I guess I didn’t really realise how blessed I was until I read your message. It’s amazing to be able to tap in to that history. Someone I knew once told me she wanted to interview her grandparents and write down their stories. That would be way too awesome. I don’t think she ever got around to it, though.

Also, I was born in the 80s… I feel so old right now.
