My father passed away earlier this year which means I am the oldest at 64 and a pensioner. We were all very upset when he passed away even though he was nearly 90 including my 3 granddaughters.
They only called my father grandad and I was Uncle Frank and their their other Grandad was Uncle Peter until he passed away and I am now being called Grandad Frank.
Up till my fathers death I did not really regard myself as a grandad even though this was the case.
Today one of my daughters said I am now the head of the family. Grandad Peter is 3 months younger.
She is probably correct. I must however say I am finding this difficult to come to terms with.
I am now thinking it may be more difficult accept that I am the oldest in the family at my age than by somebody who has lost both parents when they are in their 40's or early 50's.
Does anybody agree with this?.
