A recent thread on another board made me realize that I'm blessed to have all 4 of my grandparents still alive in my mid 30s. Though I don't think my paw paw on my mom's side has much longer.

Only one was still alive when I was born. He died when I was 28 and it fricked me up bad.

My grandparents all died when I was in my 20s. My dad just turned 83 but he isn't doing well.

0 and only 1 parent.

My dad's father died the earliest. In his 50s he died of a heart attack. My mom's mother died in her early 60s from ALS.. The other two lived to their late 80s.

0. The worst part is that they would hate this world if they were still around.

Zero. No birthday money or Christmas gifts my whole damn life. I didn't get spoiled. Somebody owes me.

0. I knew them all well and 2 were like a 2nd set of parents to me but the last one died at nearly 100 about 5 years ago. First one died when I was 19, last one around when I turned 40.

Maternal grandma passed of cancer before I was born
Grandpa survived until I was 22


My dad's parents are still alive in my mid 30s. They have health problems like diabetes but are otherwise still kickin' it.

None. And I also lost my dad in 1972, my mom in 2016 and my step-dad in 2019.

Grandparents are the best. Treasure them while they are still around.

My last grandparent died about 7-9 years ago. And she out lied my second to last grandparent by a decade.

I had a close loving relationship with all 4 and wish I could have had longer to spend with them
