answer:Learn more about him from your living relatives, ask questions about their favorite and least favorite memories of him, ask if you can see any pictures they have of him, or maybe if he had any possessions that you could keep, like a tie, handkerchief, or a watch….it might help you feel closer to him. I remember being scared by my great grandparents occasionally when I was little. My grandpa on my dads side was over 6’5” and by the time I was of age to start remembering things, he had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. I was a lot closer with my Grandpa on my moms side, He died when I was around 6 or 7 but I remember he would let me play with his hair and brush it in different directions or crazy hairstyles, lol. I named my son after him (Monroe).
