4. I didn't realize the importance of my grandfather when I was a teenager.

When my siblings and cousins were young we spent a lot of time with our grandfather.
But when we were teens, we all took him for granted and our lives were too busy to spend much time with him.

As my siblings and cousins got older, we realized how much grandpa meant to us.

We still talk about him at every family reunion, how much we miss him, and he's been gone many decades now.
