Grandparents

I found these two charts on ancestry.com



Unfortunately both of my grandpa's died young. My grandpa Klipsch died before I was born and my grandpa Condellire died when I was around 3 years old. First, I wish I could have met my grandpa K. My mom says that he would have really enjoyed watching us play all of our sports. I don't think my grandpa C. was alive when I started playing hockey, soccer or baseball, but my mom and dad are sure he would have been to most of the games too. I enjoy hearing stories about both of them whether good or bad. It is a shame that I have had to make perceptions of them through other people rather than really get to know them myself. I am grateful that I was able to develop fun relationships with both of my grandma's. I sometimes get upset for my dad because I know how close grandpa and him were and I look forward to the day in the distant future when my dad can spoil my kids and watch them play their sports and what not. Same thing goes for you mom. I bet you two are getting pretty bored at home without Anthony or me playing hockey, but I am sure Angela is keeping you both busy. I loved that both of your parents remained your closest friends and I look forward to our relationship growing as well.

The K one is pretty scary. Hopefully your dad and I will be around to spoil your kids.
