When is one too old to stop showing affection for a family member? I wish I had never stopped giving my grandfather kisses before parting. I remember every night when my mom would pick me up from my grandparents house I'd always give my grandpa a kiss of the cheek. Now i feel like i barely see him and when I do there's sure to be an argument on the way or something negative to be said. I wish things weren't like that. I feel like I'm too old to do anything to change that. I guess it's just the awkwardness that I'm afraid of. I have learned though that a lot can come from a situation once that awkwardness has passed. I just wish that things were how they were before when I was his pride and joy..
