Must be something to do with getting older, you start to wonder more about the past.<br />My G'mother lived with us for 8 yrs until she died at age 94. Sadly my mother, her only child, died of cancer when she was only 52. When my G'father died we decided she must come to us. (My husband is Greek, it's the normal thing to do in Greece!). Anyway the other day I re found her birth certificate and was reminded she was born in 1890 and I know she married in 1919 so just after the end of WW1. It suddenly struck me I had missed such a wonderful opportunity to talk her about what life was like for her during the war. I remember seeing pics of my G'father in uniform but have no idea if he ever actually fought. It makes me very sad that I was so wrapped up in my busy life I never asked her about hers.
