my advice to you is to not let your imagination get the best of you. after all, you say you have no idea what happened to him. so why get mad about something you don't even know?

my grandfather was in WWII. my dad was in vietnam. and you know what? I've been to Germany and Japan, and I've mingled with very nice people there. people that weren't even alive in WWII.

I try not to let things I only imagine about the past get me all worked about the reality of the present.
