Both sets of grandparents and a great grandmother who will turn 100 this year

8/1/2013 10:11:11 AM

3/4 and I have a great-grandmother who is still alive at 102. However, she doesn't even recognize her own son at this point.

8/1/2013 10:23:15 AM

Just 1 - father's mother - and she's doing pretty well.

On my mother's side her father did from emphysema way before I was born and her mother died when I was in the 8th grade.

On my father's side, his father died from a stroke a couple of days before Christmas 1984 and his mother, who I'm named after, died in 2006 after her heart gave out at the age of 95. I miss my grandma so much, she was a huge part of my life growing up and practically raised me.

I never met my mother's father, he died shortly after my parents got married. My father's father died when I was one or two, so there are a few pictures of us together, but that's it. My mother's mother died of MS/several infections and a weak immune system the summer after my freshman year of college, I hadn't gotten to see her since... at least 5, maybe 8 years prior

Just 1 for me - my grandmother on my mom's side. I've lost 2 grandparents within the past year, 1 of those being a couple weeks ago. I'm 29.

Mine were relatively older though... 82, 95, 84.

The one grandmother left is 84 now - currently in good health but I'm worried my grandfather's recent passing will bring her down a lot.

On an interesting side note, my Mom was the youngest of 4 and my Dad was the oldest of 4. My Dad's Mom was the same age as my Uncle (Mom's brother, still alive). My Mom also had a brother that died in a POW camp in the Korean War.

I was thinking about this the other day: If this was a message board not geared toward people that have completed (or at least started) higher education, the number of posters with 4 grandparents alive would probably be much higher. People born to teen parents are less likely to even finish high school, so I'm guessing the parental age of t-dubbers is skewed higher, resulting in older parents and older grandparents.

8/3/2013 11:56:42 AM

Just one, mom's mom.

1988 - Grandpa dad's side
2006 - Grandma dad's side
2010 - Grandpa mom's side (and step grandpa on mom's side as well)

Living grandma is 68. She had my mom when she was 17. My parents and my in-laws are all between 50-53. I'm 30

my wife's grandmother passed away yesterday. it was her last remaining grandparent

i got to visit my 97 year old grandfather over labor day weekend. he lives in MA with my aunt so I don't get to see him much. she has a cabin in PA, when I lived in NJ I would go visit them there a few times a year. since I moved back to NC I try to go visit once a year. he can't hear for shit and mostly just sits in his chair and watches for bears, but it was good to see him.

Praying for your family. Amen

My last remaining grand parent died about 5 years ago

As of a couple years ago, 0. But both my wife's grandparents are still kicking (her great grandmother was until about 10 years ago)

9/11/2025 10:59:58 AM

0 as of 2012. My wife, who is younger, still has a 92 year old Grandmother, alive and in good health (driving herself living alone).

"driving herself"

I remember the last time I rode with my grandmother. It was scary and she was only like 80. Going like 35 trying to merge onto the interstate smh


Also 0/4 biological grandparents for me. All died between 2006-2020. 1/7 total grandparents alive for me though!
