Are you a Republican or Democrat?

No, this isn't another political rant post. :) My Grandpa John used to ask me this question and would constantly try to get me to commit to being one or the other. Then he'd ask me when I was going to have kids. My Grandma would get so mad at him and tell him that it was none of his business!
My Grandpa passed away recently. I haven't seen him in a long time and I deeply regret not doing more to keep in touch with him, reach out to him, go visit him, let him know that I finally had a kid and that I voted for a democrat. I know it would have made him happy to know these things, and I hope he knows them now. Time is far too precious to just let it slip away and not reach out to those you love. Don't let the opportunity pass you by the way that I did.
