my grandmother is alive. she's 89 years old and has alzheimer's. she's very healthy for a lady her age but because of her illness she is well past the point of remembering me. but i have lots of great memories.
 
My maternal grandmother died in 2001, when I was 22, and my paternal grandmother died four years later, so I knew both fo them fairly well. My paternal grandmother suffered from depression and social anxiety disorder, which went untreated until her last five years or so, which made it difficult to sustain a conversation with her, but after she went on medication, she turned out to be very talkative, especially about family history.

My paternal grandfather died in the late fifties, so I never knew him, and my maternal grandfather died when I was six.
 
Grandma's are awesome. I was fortunate to grow up with both of my grandmothers and even had a great grandma living until I was 6. My dad's mom passed away in 2003 and I miss her terribly. My other grandma is still alive and doing well at age 78. She has more of a social life than me! I have found myself spending more time with her since my other grandma passed away. I cherish those times and wish everyone had the chance to know their grandparents.

I really wish I would have had the opportunity to meet my grandfathers. Both of them passed away well before I was born.
 
I still have one of my grandmothers... she's 85 years young, and gets around great! A couple of years ago, before I moved closer to my family, we met in Las Vegas - and we had a blast! She wanted to see it all, but we could never do that because she was always parked in front of a slot machine! :lol: (She brought home some serious money, while all we did was leave with empty pockets!)

Grandma is such a joy to be around and we love her to pieces. She's even 'adopted' my partner and introduces him to people as her other grandson, which makes him feel pretty special since both of his grandmothers have passed away.

We talk with her every day and see her several times a week. Having her in our lives is a blessing that we cherish each and every day.
 
My maternal grandmother died when I was a junior in college. She lived with my parents and I from when I was six months old, so not only did I know her, she was really a part of the immediate family.

My paternal grandmother died when I was a senior in high school; each year I would spend a week at spring break and a week over the summer at her place.

Thankfully, they were both gifted storytellers. They were older than most of the grandparents of my peers (both they and my parents had children later in life) so not only did I hear about the depression, but I heard some wild stories about rum-running in the 20s as well. It certainly proved the old saying that no one is born old. :)
 
All my Grandparents are no longer living

Both my grandparents on my dad side are still alive and are pretty healthy.

My grandparents on my mum's side have both passed away. My granddad passed away 3 years ago and my grandma passed away about 11 years ago.

I still have a lot of fond memories of them. They were good people.
 
My maternal grandmother passed away in the mid 70's. It was unfortunate my much younger half-brothers don't remember her. She taught me how to read by the time I was 3. She was a terrible driver, though; Mom wouldn't let her take me in her car.

My paternal grandmother is, sadly, still with us. 3 1/2 years ago she went into the Nursing Home and at that time she wasn't expected to survive 6 months. It has been a long 42 months, costly, and very sad to see the long, long failure of most everything. It's like her body doesn't know it is supposed to shut down.
 
Yes,on both my mother and my fathers side.
I had a great-grandmother(mothers side) who passed away in '89.
 
I'll hazard a guess:
Paternal grandfather - probably dead, but I don't know when
Paternal grandmother - died when I was 12
Maternal grandfather - died before I was born
Maternal grandmother - died when I was 8

Yeah... they've been dead for a long time. Meh.
 
Well, Im 42 years old,and I had my Nan (Mums mum ) till three years ago, she was 78 then--I had a lot of time for her, and I miss her. My other Nan died at 62 back in the late 1980s.......I had a Great Nan until I was about 16, she was great! A very Victorian lady, stern but lovely...she got to 86.
 
My nephew's grandmother on their mother's side had a horrible death. My sister-in-law was inconsolable, and even my brother on seeing his mother-in-law was in tears.

The old lady had had a stroke a few years earlier, and clung onto life in a nursing home. They fed her through a tube, but she was motionless, even when she was alive, she was in dire pain, with sores due to not being able to move, and her tongue had shriveled away because she couldn't drink water and was fed by tube. We were all very sad, but relieved she left the mortal coil, and her suffering had ended.
 
My father's mother is still alive.

She is 97 years old.

She is now suffering from old-age dementia.

Last week, we sadly had to put her into a nursing home, because her level of care was more than any family member could handle.

She is in a good place, which is immaculately clean, with a staff that cares. There are family members there each day to visit her.

Jubbers may remember me referring to her as "The Sicilian Lady." She is a fighter to the end. And while she may not recognize me some days, or know where she is, she still has her moments of lucidity.
 
No, I miss them very much
.....................they were always kind and gentle to me.....................
.....................I've fond lasting memories.....................

All four of my grandparents were dead by the time I was born. Two of my great-grandmothers, however were still alive. One is still going strong to this day at 104 years old.

I was told that my grandma died a while back, but years ago, she started shrinking, and shrinking, and shrinking, and I’m not so sure that we haven’t just misplaced her.
Click to expand...

I believe I have nine hundred grandmothers in my house.

(My grandmothers died when I was a teenager. One of them was quite disagreeable, the other quite the reverse.)
 
My paternal grandmother died when I was a sophomore in high school.

Luckily, the other three are still alive. My grandpa lives in Florida, is 94, and lives in what he calls "his bachelor pad." :lol:

I love them all.
 
My maternal grandmother is still alive and well...she's taken good care of. She's had 15 children and many, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She lives with my aunt in Houston and can still remember what I like to eat and don't like. I'm truly thankful. She called me up the other day and saw that Illinois had snow and told me to be careful driving.
