my paternal grandmother passed away last year so i have none of my grandparents alive now! as for my relationship with my grandparents well it was never actually a close one especially in the case of my grandparents from my father's side. my grandfather used to be very strict so it was more of a fear that i used to feel in his prescence instead of closeness..and i was never able to understand my grandmother's nature:) and on my mother's side my grangfather passed away long ago before i was born and my grandmother was nice but she lived in another city(faraway) so i never could really get a chance to get close to her!

my granddad just passed away last october 2006 after a terrible typhoon in the philippines. it was a very sad day for me since i had this good news to him -- that i am going abroad -- and he hasnt heard that. but my grandmom is still alive and strong, and im praying that when i come home, she will still be there to get me from the airport.

My grandfathers have passed away but I had never net them and my grandmothers are still alive but I have only seen then twice in my life. I never really had grandparents close to me. I think that is why I love watching my kids with their grandparents.

I lost both of my grandfathers by the age of 5 but I still have really good memories of both of them. I lost my grandma on my mom's side a little over a year ago and miss her so much. I still have my grandma on my dad's side and I'm extremely close to her. She's almost like my mother, but last Sept. she went into a nursing home because she kept falling. I still visit her 4 or 5 times a week and will be lost when she passes away.

I'm afraid all of my grandparents have now passed. I lost my last living grandmother 3 years ago. I miss them all as each had something special they offered to me besides their love. Because of that I often wish that my children and grandchildren could have known them all or known them better. I pray that I will be the kind of grandmother to my 5 grandchildren as mine were to me.

I still have a few that are alive. I lost a great grandmother and a grandfather when I was a teen. i don't have a good relationship with one set of grandparents - but then again, I don't think they notice, they have never cared about me.

Nope, all of my grandparents, father and mother side are all resting in peace..Of course, i do really missed them a lot. Specially my grandfather (mother side), his one of my closest since birth. I grow up in their house until the age of 8yrs. old. He makes me so spoiled, he gave all what i wanted but i never took advantage because i do love him.

Only my paternal grandpa passed away 4 years ago. He was a good man. I had good memories about him. My 3 year old son looks like him and runs like him LOL. My other grandparents are still alive. My spouse's maternal grandmother is 96 years old, still independant and as healthy as a bee! His other grandparents passed away a long time ago.

Both my grandfather's are resting in peace since the 1980s whereas both my grandmother's are going pretty strong. This is a true case of females outliving the males. I too share a lot of great memories with my grandparents. Cheers! Ram
