I can imagine that happens a lot. I would give anything to have more time to talk to my grandfather about WWII. I've posted here before that like many WWII vets, the subject was something we were told as kids was something he didn't want to talk about. I got the chance to talk to him about it once and I wish there were more. I can't imagine not wnating to know at all. If the same thing happened to me (with a child who didn't care demanding stuff they never cared about before) I would be furious, too. Waiting to respond was certainly a good idea!
