0. But, I am in my 50s.

That said, none of mine were still alive when I turned 30. My wife (no pics) had one of hers alive at 30.

I'm 36 and have 3. One grandma, one grandpa, and one step-grandma. I'm counting her because she's been married to my grandpa since I was in elementary school.

All in pretty decent health.

You’re very lucky. All of mine are gone. One of my grandparents was like a third parent. I think about her every single day.

My grandma had the best sense of humor. She would have helped me make sense of the world today and would have done so in a clever, snarky fashion

None. All mine died before I was born or when I was a baby and I’m not an old guy. Never knew any of them.

I'm 38 and all 4 of my grandparents are still kicking in their mid 80s. It's something I don't take for granted and visit/speak with them often.

Im 31 and have 3 of the 4. My grandmother passed a year ago


Thought I was about to lose my grandfather after he was hit by an 18 wheeler in his Buick. Broke 3 neck vertebrae and was on a vent. Not conscious. Elected to take him off the vent and doc gave him 50/50. 2 months later he is home, walking with a walker and has full mental capacity. He said in his mind all he could tell himself while laying in the hospital was he didn’t want to die he wanted to get out of there so he can have a Big Mac and a cigarette

0 … lost my paternal GF when I was 18, who was the first grandparent to pass. My last living grandparent, maternal GM passed when I was 49.

My maternal GF introduced me to LSU football, TS, and eating pre-game meals in the LSU Union. First memories when I was 4-5 yrs old
