The real impact of that didn't hit me as a child. It was just this story my grandfather told me. My grandfather was born in 1901 and was already an old man whenever I was born in 1978, my mother was the baby of the family and was a surprise in 1956. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back and sit down with him and pick his brain just for a bit!
