My grandfather lost his mother when he was 10, in 1919. Despite going deep into family history research for decades, and talking about so much of it with him before he passed at 97 almost 20 years ago, I only learned in 2021 that she died from the Spanish flu, offhandedly from a family member. What a strange black hole of recollection.
