Well my grandpa served in Vietnam and died there. I didn't realize until I was 6 that he was actually alive after the war. He made it back after and while be thought dead by everyone else was infact hiding in a place of refuge for shelter. I remember he sent me a message that the grandeur I associated with everything my grandpa did was a mistake, that in some ways that message was mistakenly associating him with something bigger than he really was, that perhaps it was suppose to be sent to an Roman Emperor. I later discovered that he actually first was persuaded into joining the war because his brother said it would be good. He didn't join until a year after he first told him though, though his friend had actually joined before he did. His friends uncle also decided to join the army for awhile, but he didn't last long out there. My grandpa always told us that the future consists of disengaging various elements of uncertainty from ever venturing out of us, and instead to surmount the uncertain notion revealed from signals in space, and to perhaps engage the element that would allow you to view your future and conclude your opinion on it. I suppose you shouldn't allow your grandpa to rule over you by your thinking he has something that you don't, as if your grandpa has somehow been blessed with a gift that you yourself will never have, and as if in the gesture signalng the direct indiciation that you yourself abandoned your grandpas ancient wisdom to transfer to a zoo that replaceed the war area after Pearl Harbor, and though my uncle said that. After it happened we remembered that he always reminded us that he was planning on coming back sometime, that he wanted to leave the war and be back home, but he knew that the war was demanding much of his attention, and thus, would never have the opportunity to come back.

I reformatted this so people don't just see a textwall and skip over it. Thanks for sharing your story.
My grandfather was a Sailor in the Navy. Did something with airplanes, if not actually flying them.
He didn't like to talk about it though, even to his kids. That's how you know they were really part of the war.
BTW, me and Vinsue are saving up to buy you an Enter key, DrkKenny

I know your emotions are probably a one big mess atm, but trust me, it gets better. First there's sorrow, then there's memories, which you'll always have.. Embrace them, the sooner you do that, the sooner you'll feel better 
I felt so bad when my grandpa died, I spent every summer vacation with him when I was a kid, and I was kind of like the son he never had.. Then, I turned 12, 13, 14, 15 and year by year I spent less time with him, no phone calls no nothing. I only saw him on birthdays etc, and even then it was always pretty briefly as I was always going somewhere..
When he died, I felt so bad because we didn't spend that much time together, and it took me a while to realize that it's only normal, especially when you start smoking pot and taking drugs as a teenager, like I did.
The important thing is, that we spent so many great moments together, and that's something no one can take away from me/couldn't take away from him.
That's something I'll always have in my heart.

Thank you, man. Some things are never lost, are they? 
Thanks too, Sheekle.
