My grandpa

Is it weird to miss someone you’ve never met?
I’ve never met my grandpa. He passed away before I was born, but for some reason, I feel deeply connected to him. Whenever I see old photos or watch videos of him, I’m overwhelmed by this strange wave of emotion, and sometimes I do cry. Honestly, It’s like a piece of me recognizes him, even though we never shared a moment together. People always talk about how kind, gentle, and good-hearted he was. Sometimes they mention little habits or personality traits that sound so much like me, and it makes me wonder how good we would have connected together and even how similar we would have been. I wanted to share this here because I think about it regularly and I'm a true believer that someone you’ve never met can still leave a mark on you.
