I wish I knew the stories behind the following- only the principals are either dead or so dotty that the answers are gone.
What did Grandma think of California during the war, when Grandpa moved them there from East Helena? Did she miss her family? Did she make a lot of friends there? Was it an adventure, or was it just lonely?
What was her favorite color? Song? Food?
Why aren't there any photos of my other Grandparents' wedding? Or of Grandma pregnant?
Why was Grandpa so angry at life? What happened to him to turn him into such a bitter, mean man? And why did he hate my father and me so ardently?
Then there are the silly little incedentals- how tall was my Grandmother? What color were her eyes? I just don't remember.
These might seem trivial, and probably are, but I would love the chance to get the answers. Barring psychic intervention, I'll probably have to make up the answers myself, and be satisfied.
