View all 6 ReflectionsI wish I could have met my great grandfather. His memory is kept alive in our family and our hearts. My grandfather is now in heaven with him and they are reunited. My grandfather carried around my great grandfather's comb in his wallet so he could feel close to him. They are up in heaven watching over our family and I am grateful to have them in my family
