Ob- I'm so sorry you lost your parents so young, that must have been really hard :o(.
It's lovely you've got your memories but it's not the same. Your grandad was in ww1 that's brilliant (if that make sense, not the ww1). Think the older generation were a lot tougher an sometimes quite often didn't know how to show their feels, conditioned that way I think.
I know what u mean though, my nan wasn't mean but was hard if that makes sense, not towards the end but dementia got her unfortunately,. My grandad was in ww2 but a stoker on hms implacable, he was in the war an then, he's ship returned pows to oz at the end of the war , he was brilliant and cracked wicked jokes, I see him in my dad a lot which is nice. My mums my died when I was 6 or 7 and never met her dad as died b4 I was born.
That's beautiful re your house, honestly that's amazing. I bet it has loads of character too. I bet your son looks after those medals well.
I don't know if you know but there's an artillery/war memorial page for ww1 and ww2 that u can upload photos, pictures of the medals, service record etc too that helps them to commemorate all our war hero's alive an deceased. I'll try and find the link for u if u haven't done it already ? X
