If not, how old were you when they died?

I was 17 when my last grandparent passed away.

A friend of mine just lost a great grandparent. She's 30 and still has all four grandparents.

How old are you?

It blows my mind honestly that people have been able to live well into their adult lives still able to access the experience and guidance of their grandparents.

Jealous really.

Never met either of my grandfathers. One of my grandmothers passed away in 1990, I was 4. The other is still alive. I think she's 81 this year.

24. It's still weird going to my grandmother's houses and them not being there. I watched old family home videos back during Christmas and they were both in them. I broke down and cried because I had almost forgotten what their voices and laughs sounded like.

My paternal grandparents are still kicking. My maternal grandmother died a year or two before I was born, and my maternal grandfather died about 6 months after I was born. I'm 25.

i still have one grandparent alive, my dad's mom. my great grandmother, which is her mother just passed a year ago. She lived to 106. So my grandmother, who is in her 80's, probably has a good bit left in the tank.

33. Still have both my grandfathers. One is 90 and other is 87. Lost my grandmothers within the past 5 years.

The 90 year old grandfather still makes his daily rounds to the VFW, Legion and Moose to "pay the dues" as he says. Pretty much just a reason for him to go drink, lucky he lives in real small town and gets rides from people. Wish I lived closer to them.
