It feels like that except I think maybe somebody dies in The Game and I didn't die but somebody does in my episode of Who Do You Think You Are?

My favourite subject at school was Australian history.
I just loved it so much.
And in Year 12, it was specifically, you know, the time that Mary was around.
And so it was just like I was in heaven with all of it.
There is that story which has all the incredible tragedy and strength and inspiration and joy
hardship and, I mean, everything I could wish for as a history, Australian history buff.
So then there's the other story, which is much closer.
This is my dad's dad.
I mean, you know, most people still have their dad's dad around.
And that one, they're just two, it was two very different experiences.
And obviously the closer the family tree gets to me, the
the more I feel about that story.
And I suppose the more questions I have that have been raised throughout my life because, you know, obviously, you know, people had talked about Grandad.
I think I'd only met him for maybe the first three months of my life, so I never knew him.
But my sisters certainly did, you know, had lots of memories of granddad.
