son upset because he has never meet his grandparents?

my 8 year old son has got really upset because he has never meet his grandparents. Both my parents died when i was a teenager i talk about them sometimes not in great depth.But my son started asking me questions like what are they like? what did he work as? act. He then got very upset because he has never meet them. I comforted him and didn't may a big deal of it.He was really upset. I have never dealt with this before is it normal for him to ask like this???

Update:

he has his grandparents from his fathers side and see's them.they are not the best but i can't change that. i just wasn't sure if it was normal for him to get so upset about his grandparents as he never meet them

    I think it is great he cares and that he realizes there was more to him than just you. He wants to know about them, where and how they lived maybe things they did when they were young. He has friends that have grandparents and they probably do things with them and he realizes he missed out.

    He has paternal grandparents..where are they? They would be very important to him and he needs to know about them. I hope they are in his life.
