I'm 26, my dad's dad died before I was born. My dad's mom died when I was 22. Both of my grandparents on my mom's side are still living.

My mother's mother is still alive. My father's father passed away before I was born. The other two died when I was about 4 or 5.

I just turned 30 and all my grandparents are still here. All of them are healthy with the exception of my Mom's Dad. His memory is slipping and he's acting more like a child every day. It's good because he was such an angry old man for a long time that it's nice to see him smile so much....but it also sucks when he can't remember your name or what he did yesterday.

I'm 41 and have both grandparents on my mother's side still alive! Grandpa just turned 83 and Grandma is 78. I was lucky enough to have both Great Grandparents on my Grandmother's side live a long life too. GGP until I was in my late twenties and GGM until I was 32. She came down for the birth of my son in 2002. We took a 5 generation picture that is pretty special to have.

Just lost my grandmother, she was the last. I have friends who are in their 30's and all grandparents are alive and in the late 70's/early 80's. Their parents had them in their early 20's.

I'm 34, parents are 62/58 and both sets of grandparents are still alive. Very lucky to have gotten this many years with them.



ETA: I had a great grandfather on my dad's side and great grandmother on my mom's side still alive up until I was about 10.
