Were you able to get to know your grandparents?

yes and i am truly thankful for that. my family has five living generations so i know my great grand mother too. the only problem is with so many older people still alive, there's more to die... knock on wood...

yes i was able to get to know my grandmothers only and not my grandfathers. both my mom´s mother and my dad´s mother , i could see them get to know them and also obtained their love butunfortunately my grandfathers were not alive but i had seen my mom´s dad and for a few years he was alive after i born but i was a child when he expired. grandparents are really nice and they really love grandchildrens a lot and they always support them and i could really feel lucky to get their love and i do really miss them a lot and now i have no grandparents and i feel very bad as i was very close to my mom´s mother and she expired about a few months back and i really miss them and i was in germany when she expired and could not even see her for the last time.

I was able to be around both grandmothers and one grandfather until I was about 12. They passed away.

I haven't got the chance to get to know my grandparents as they are in heaven when I came to this world. I only have one grandmother who is still alive but where not that close. She live in other country for a number of years. When she get back and now living in one of my Aunt house, I known her a little bit and with stories about her which my father told me, I am getting to know her even more.

Yes I was lucky enough to have my grandparents for many years. I didn't lose them until I was well into adulthood. Matter of fact I lost my last grandmother just two years ago - and I'm 49. I also got to know 4 great grandmothers. Unfortunately my family is starting to "die off" now. Even my beloved Mom is gone. At the age of 49 I'm now the oldest female in the family. And now I'm the grandma to two adorable grandchildren. :)

Oh thats is so great for you to have been able to spend so much time with your grandparents. I got to spend time with only my mother's mom and that too not so much time because my father's parents and my mother's dad had expired when I was very young. But it was good that atleast I got to spend some time with grandma. It was great. She was a very organised lady and we always got to have nice delicacies to eat at her place. It was fun. Thanks for making me remember her. We did share some great times together

Hi writermom8, I did had a chance to know or at least to remember three of my grandparents at the same time, eventually two of them past away and right now only my grandmother from my mom's side is still with us, God bless her. I even had a chance to know for several years, her mom, who would be my late great grandmother.

I lost my maternal grandfather when I was two or three years old but I do have a slight image of him in my mind. My paternal grandfather passed away two years before my birth so I had no chance of knowing him on interacting with him. My paternal grandmother passed three years back and I did have a lot of interaction with her during my early age. My maternal grandmother is still alive and I hope she lives heathly by God's grace till God's will. I believe grandparents form a very integral part in forming the character of a child during his early age and hence every child should be able to interact their grandparents and it should be the responsibility of the grandparents also to be able to nurture their grandchildren and to teach them proper etiquette and manners through their experiences.

I wasn't so lucky to get to know my grandparents, since i was getting some sense of myself like as long as what i can remember i only met my grandparents no more than fifteen times..and sadly my grandmother passed away last summer.

I knew all of my grandparents but unfortunately only my father's parents are living at this moment in time.

I've been very lucky. Both my grandfathers have passed and they were great losses. I was always extremely connected to them. It took me longer to connect to my grandmothers, but I still get to see them and talk to them, so I guess I get to make up for time.
