S/O: Are your grandparents still around?

UnderwaterRhymes

My maternal grandparents are still alive and doing pretty well. They're celebrating their 66th anniversary this week. I love them.

H's paternal grandmother is still alive, also, is in her early 90s, and is doing super well. She's got a better social life than we do.

One. My mom's mother.

My dad's father died when I was 2. His mother died about 5 years ago. My mom's father died two weeks ago.

PixieChinchilla

I have two grandmas and one grandpa still alive.

My Dad's dad passed away when I was 2, I believe.

PremierMot

my maternal grandparents are deceased.

My paternal grandparents are alive.

Mine are still around. I even have some step-grandparents.

My mom's parents are only in their early 70's. They're remarried and their spouses are about the same age.

My dad's mom is about 80, I never met my dad's dad. He died 2 months before I was born.

My mom's grandma is still alive, she is in her 90's, and is in surprisingly pretty good shape and still has her memory.

My dad's parents died in 1999 within a month of each other at the age of 72.

My mom's stepmom died in 2007 and her dad died a few months later.

My mom's mom is going to live forever. She's in her late 80s.

I had a great-grandma who lived to be 106.

I have one living great-grandma left. She is 100. She has dementia.

My maternal grandparents died in 1991 and 2001.  My paternal grandfather died before I was born and my paternal grandmother died in 2000.

Nope, all mine died before I was born or when I was very young. Actually, one my "big" memories from childhood is my grandma dying in our living room. She went to sleep and never woke up.  I was like five.

My paternal grandmother is all I have left and up until the last 6 months has been an active lady living on her own, gardening and walking every where in her small town.  Her health has started to decline recently and hopefully she will stay strong.  I lost my other three grandparents in elem (p gpa), ms (m gpa), and hs (m gma).  I did know my great-grandmas on my dad's side and they lived into their 90s.

My maternal grandmother passed in 1997 from complications from her full mastectomy, really sucks because they were doing the operation as a precaution, and otherwise she might still be alive.  She was 60.

My paternal grandfather passed in 2002.  He had Alzheimer's and his quality of life had been gone for a while, he had gotten to the point where he couldn't talk, couldn't swallow, and didn't know anyone or where he was.

My maternal grandfather is still alive and kicking.  He just had his fourth open heart surgery this past November but has recovered about 90%.  He's 80. 

My paternal grandmother is still alive, but in a horrible mental state.  She was put on narcotic painkillers 25 years ago after she fractured her hip and the doctor left her on a high dose for 20 years.  She became addicted and in the past 5 years has developed a severe case of hallucination, depression, and several other problems. She hasn't been out of the house since late October.  Didn't come to Thanksgiving because she was convinced that it was Halloween, didn't come to Christmas because it was November.  She yelled at my father and called him the most ungreatful person alive when he brought her a birthday gift.  It is really sad, but the doctors claim there is nothing they can do. She's 75.

My paternal grandmother is turning 90 this year. Her H died when my dad was just a kid.

Both of my maternal grandparents are still alive but divorced. I have a step-grandmother as well.

I have no living grandparents. Paternal grandfather died the year before I was born, of cancer. Paternal grandmother passed in 2009. Maternal grandfather was murdered 7 years before I was born, maternal passed in 2008. I was devestated when my mom's mother died. She and my Dad passed away almost exactly a year apart, so losing 2 of the most important people in my life so close together was tough.

Both of my grandfathers passed away before I was born. My maternal grandmother died from a heart attack when I was 6 and my paternal grandmother passed away from ovarian/uterine cancer when I was 15. I LOVED my father's mother and I wish every day she was still around so she could have met DH. I think they would have had a hoot together. She was 88 though and had a wonderful life ......I hope I can be as fortunate.

My paternal grandfather is the only grandparent I have left. Both of my grandmothers died within months of my wedding.  My paternal grandfather died before I was born and my step-grandfather (who died when I was 2) can rot in hell.

Tambcat

Both grandmothers.

My paternal grandfather died when I was a baby, and my maternal grandfather died when I was 8.

My maternal grandma is in poor health, but I fully anticipate her to hang on forever and my paternal grandma to die suddenly of a heart attack or something.

Joanna's middle name is after the paternal grandmother.

ridesbuttons

My last surviving grandparent died in 1972.  So, no.

bostonjen

No. My dad's father died when he was a teen and his mom shortly after I was born. Mom's dad died in 1991 and her mom just about a year ago. H's grandparents are all gone too. His mom's dad died when she was 16 and the rest of them over the past 7 years.

QueenofAnything

My maternal grandparents are still alive (though things aren't looking too good for my grandpa). My paternal grandmother died when I was 18 and my paternal grandfather died a year before my parents got married, about 7 years before I was born.

BettyHomewrecker33

Both of my dad's parents are alive and well into their 80s, but they've been talking their deaths since my mom started dating my dad in the 70s.

My mom's mom passed away from pancreatic cancer in our home when I was in college.

My mom's dad is in his 80s and is still kickin', but in denial about his health, so it's kind of sad.

AnotherRose

My paternal grandmother is still alive. Her health has been starting to decline lately but she is still very sharp mentally. We are very close and I will be devastated when she dies. She is in her late 80s.

My maternal grandmother died when I was 2.

Paternal grandfather died when I was 17. His death was really hard on me and I still miss him every day.

Maternal grandfather died when I was 23. My dad passed away 3 months later. Horrible, horrible year.

I did also know one great grandmother (my paternal gma's mom). She died when I was 4 at the age of 98.

mrspat7

All of my grandparents are gone.  My exH still has his grandparents and the children go and stay with them quite often.  I'm very grateful that they can because spending time with your great-grandparents is not something most kids get to do. 

Alicia_R1

i still have all of my grandparents and so does FI.

papie

Three of them died in 85, 87 and 88.  I have a remaining grandmother who is 88 and is planning on driving everyone crazy for many more years

styme46

Nope. Neither one of us have grandparents left. My last living grandparent passed away a little over 5 years ago. One has been gone for nearly 30 years, and the other 2 have been gone for nearly 20.

Sue_sue

Mine are long gone; I miss them.

Mrs.JulesH-S

Yes.  My great grandmother just passed away last year.  My dad's dad, my mom's mom & step dad, and my mom's dad & step mom are all still alive.  Of course the only ones I really care for are my mom's dad & step mom.
