My Biological Grandfather Died


I never met my bio grandfather. My mother was adopted by my "actual" grandfather who died last year. It does make me wonder though, what gifts and curses I was given through my genes by my biological grandfather. My mom's half sister contacted her ten years ago or so and wanted to meet my mom and have her visit my bio grandfather. I saw a picture of him fishing. I think someone told me he liked to fish. The man was for sure not well thought of in my family. His new family, that my mother met, seemed to have thought better of him. It always seems like there are two sides to a person, but I have a hard time over looking certain things, like fathers (or mothers for that matter) leaving their children and wives to fend for themselves. I sure hope he didn't leave me the leave your family gene. I hope that I got the straighten up your act and stay with your family gene from my dad. So far it seems like that's the one I got. Anyway, if you can see me now Grandfather, next time I tie one on, it'll be for you.
