It really is hard to face, even at this age. When hubby and I first met, he had such a huge family. His family was a his/hers/ours family. He even had all the grandparents which was totally new to me, because mine had passed right before or shortly after I was born, so I never new what grandparents were like. His were wonderful and I loved them so much.

Then of course as time goes on, the kids marry, move away, come back for visits, but then start having families of their own and it makes it harder. I understand completely, but it's just hard knowing we'll most likely never see each other again unless it would be at a funeral. Crazy isn't it...people will travel to see you dead, but not when they can enjoy you alive. Sad.
