My father grew up an only child, his older brother died when he was only 4 years old, his brother was 6 when he died. He died from Bulbar Polio(Poliomyelitis), it was a year or 2 before the Polio vaccine was invented. Me & my father are very close, I love him so much, he didn't know his brother that much because he was only 4 years old when he passed away, he never got the chance to grow up with him. I cry at night & sometimes when I'm spending time with my father, because it's sad thinking about my father & his parents(my grandparents) mourning him, especially my dad being 4 years old at the time. I've never visited his grave before because my father & his family grew up in another state, but I'm planning on visiting his gravesite sometime soon, I want to because I want to show my father I love him & his side of the family so much, I know my Uncle would have made a great brother for my father, it makes me cry because my uncle was only 6 years old, innocent, defenseless, it's just sad.
