I barely remember my grandpa. He died when I was in kindergarten. I always regretted not having more time with him. My other grandpa was born right after the civil war, so he was long gone by the time I was born a century later. No grandpas for me.

Grandma died in the sixth grade. No grandmas either, really.

It always kind of felt like I should have lived in the earlier part of the twentieth century. We have to stop having kids so late. This family tradition is crazy.

Sad to hear about your grandpa Grumps. Sounds like he lived a full life so that’s at least something to cherish.
Love and light!

My father-in-law this afternoon at 90. Another WWII vet - Army.

You were saying that you felt old. Right there with you. It struck me that my husband is technically the head of the family now.

I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t know what I’ll do when my parents start to go.

I know that feeling.

I’m of the age where more things are taken from me than given. It sucks, but it’s life.

Sorry for your husband’s loss.

WASHINGTON — Legendary astronaut John Young, who walked on the moon and later commanded the first space shuttle flight, has died, according to a statement from NASA. Young was 87.

The space agency said Young died Friday night at his home in Houston following complications from pneumonia.

Young was the only agency astronaut to go into space as part of the Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle programs, and the first to fly into space six times. He was the ninth man to walk on the moon.

Young was in NASA's second astronaut class, chosen in 1962, along with the likes of Neil Armstrong, Pete Conrad and James Lovell.

"Today, NASA and the world have lost a pioneer. Astronaut John Young's storied career spanned three generations of spaceflight," NASA administrator Robert Lightfoot said in an emailed statement Saturday.

"John was one of that group of early space pioneers whose bravery and commitment sparked our nation's first great achievements in space," he added.
