I remember my grandmother in my mother's side, that when i was in kindergarten, she would dress me up preparing me to go to school. She was very caring and she made sure that her grandkids are all right.
And my grandfather in my father's side, he loved watching action movies and he would always invite me to watch with him in the theaters but i had never watched with him because i didn't like action movies and i was supposed to study after school. and i wouldn't forget him making my favorite native cakes! he made the best 'palitao' i've ever tasted in manila! ^^

I was very lucky as growing up I would see my grandparents on my mothers side at least once a week. In the summer they would take me out on trips to the countryside, so, I really got to know them. As I got into adulthood my grandfather was a great resource for any plants, flower or gardening question, which had been his hobby for some 60 odd years. My grandfather also talked a lot about his family and those stories have really helped with my genealogy research.

I think he has 2 green thumbs to be honest. He could make anything grow. Even grew Oranges in his greehouse in the UK!

My Grandma is my best friend to this day:) She is like a mom to me. Most all of our moments are memorable. I like that she is a great listener.

i had few memorable moments with my grandmom. my most memorable moment with her is when she would tell me horror stories. she would me narrate a story as if it were a true story. she had an amazing gab for storytelling. her stories are still very vivid in my mind.
