Umm.. I think I understand what you meant.
But this is not the circle of life.
Not unless they feed Grandpas remains to the baby. This is linear, not circular.
Line-age
:p
It may not be much, but at least they had a chance to meet.
I have been fortunate to have a mostly long lived family. My generational photo is my father standing over me as a baby in a stroller. He's beside my Grandpa who is standing over my Great-grandfather in a wheelchair.
Four generations, two standing, two strapped to wheeled chairs while wearing diapers, and drooling.
mother in law is the leftside hand on top of FIL, upside down hand with rings is my GF holding the baby, hand on right is the right-hand of FIL. So it's 3 generations of the same family.
Yeah taken in an angle near the head of the hospital bed. You can see the beard stubble's on his chin on the bottom left.
My sympathies to your family on his sad passing. Life will never be the same again for your wife.
Circle of life getting pretty immediate.
