You reminded me of some memory of my own grandpa. He too died when I was around 8 years old and he was my only grandpa. From today perspective I have probably unconsciously made belief "fear of death" and forget about it and now you reminded me, so thank you!

In last few years I have worked a lot on my fears; from approaching girls, jumping from high cliffs, holding snakes (that was soooo hard) and so on. I decided that by the time I am old, I will do as much things that I fear as I can!
Also thank you for your post, it is really informative and entertaining haha
