My mother died in a car wreck when I was 8. When my dad married the nurse who took care of him in the hospital not long after (8 months after the accident), we moved to Colorado and I completely lost contact with that side of the family. There were some hard feelings within my mother's family because my father remarried so soon after my mother's death and they made no efforts to stay in touch with us. Six aunts, two uncles and their spouses, cousins, grandma and grandpa, all lost.

Now I'm old and the people who could tell me things are all dead. It kind of sucks.
