Poll: Your Grandparents

[bcponpcp27]

Grandpa on my mom's side (the awesome side) and my Grandma on my Dad's side (the lame side...).

I love my grandpa a ton, mainly because he used to be a real Hooligan when he was younger. Got into a lot of bar fights. Yeah, he is pretty much the only one of his friends to have lived this long, mainly because he realized smoking couldn't be good for you.

My grandma sucks. She doesn't drive, always makes excuses not to see people, is very self centered, and doesn't go out of her way for anyone. Just...I won't have much to say at her funeral is all. Didn't have much to say at my dad's dad's either I suppose.

I have two grandparents left. My grandpa on my fathers side is about eighty years old and my grandmother on my mothers side is one-hundred and four. Though she has gotten sick recently, so I doubt that she'll make it to one-hundred and five. I've never met her, which is kind of depressing, but hopefully I will this Christmas. :]

All four which is pretty amazing seeing as I'm 22, (the youngest of the maternal set of grandkids and the sixth youngest of the paternal set.)

I have... no idea. My family is very disconnected with each other.

Yeah thats just like me.

One maternal, one paternal. Of opposite sex.

Cue hilarious The Simpsons-style romance episode!

My paternal grandpa passed away last year, about a week after his 93rd birthday. He contracted Ehrlichiosis from a tick about a year prior to that, and never quite recovered.

My maternal grandpa is not in good shape. He's immobile, can't be touched due to the pain it causes him, and his mind is another world most of the time. But he's still here (or in Chile, more accurately) and I'll be seeing him just after Christmas.

So that leaves my grandmas, both of which are in good health, though my paternal grandma is definitely very lonely these days.

This thread is making me sad.

Just One.

Although with all those options I don't get why you didn't have the "One maternal" and "One paternal" options included. Or just 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

My Nana and my Granny. My Grandpa and Granddad have both passed away.

I still have all 4 of my grandparents left. Great-grandparents is another story. Both my paternal and maternal great-grandmothers are left. Apparently my family is fairly resilient.

 

[Aedes]

None left here. :<
My paternal grandparent passed away even before my older brother was born. I only "know" him by some storys I hear.
Now only the memories remains. Happy memories, at least.

All of my natural grandparents are dead, but my paternal step-grandmother is still alive. She's doing really amazing for someone who's almost 96. I wouldn't be surprised if she reached triple digits.
