"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" - Alfred Lord Tennyson

I have been telling myself this a lot lately and have been trying to let it sink in. I have been wanting to call my grandfather. He is very old and does not have much time left. I have never got to to get to know him. I basically met him for the first time at my fathers funeral. It's hard for me to start getting attached to someone knowing I will lose them. I'm bad about relationships cause of this to. I don't want to have someone leave me again, or hurt me.

If you want to call your grandfather, then you should probably do it while you still can. It might mean a great deal to him as well.

I'm so glad! I hope you two get to have some enjoyable time together. Good for you for reaching out to him!

I think by what you have said that you are already attached to him in some way. Go visit him maybe he would like to get to know you too.
