No because my dad's dad passed away when I was only 2 years old.

Who is one family member you never got along with?

 

[milagros317]

My mother had a cousin named Seymour who was a despicable bastard in more ways than one. I could tell you true stories to his discredit for hours.
After he falsely called me a liar to my face in 1979, I never saw him again as long as he lived. When he died in 1999, I made a point of not attending his funeral.

Who is one childhood friend that you wish lived near you now?

 

[Edge]

Gabrielle. We spent years going to grammar school together. She's now a divorced single mom. We went over 20 years without seeing each other and then several years ago I went to my church which we both used to attend as kids since we went to catholic grammar school and ran right into her. We both noticed each other right away and hugged. It was a very cool moment.
