My Dad's been gone 16 yrs and it's just the past 2 that I've gone to the cemetary.
I can feel him with me at different times, but not there. I just go there to make sure his and my grandparents graves are well kept since I'm the only one in the family still living in this area.

Kat, rather than sad. I think it's wonderful that they're encouraged to remember grandpa. My 2 youngest were 3 and 5 when my dad passed, so they've forgotten a lot. Dh loved my dad nearly as much as I did, so we make sure to share stories and memories about him when we get the chance. I think it's a good thing to do.

I always tel the kids I know Dad's just waiting for the rest of us to join him and he'll probably be strumming a guitar and serenading us when we get there.
