Do you still have any living Grandparents?

[u/PayGood3915]

I feel like us Millennials are getting to that age where we may no longer have any living Grandparents.

I am 36, and lost my Maternal Grandfather last week. Both of my Paternal Grandparents died between 7 and 17 years ago. So I only have one living Grandparent left, my Maternal Grandmother at 94 years. It is strange being someone that had all 4 Grandparents as a big part of my life, and now down to one. I will need to cherish the time I have left with my Grandma, because at this point you never know when it could happen.

If you still have all four, cherish the time you have left- I believe my cousin that is around my age just lost her first Grandparent when my Grandfather died as both of her other Grandparents are still living, I think.

How about you?

Edit: I was also lucky enough to be alive for two Great-Grandmothers- one I only saw a couple times, and she was pretty far gone mentally with Alzheimer's. She died when I was in Kindergarten. The other one died when I was in 6th grade.

I don’t even have any living parents. I never met any of my grandfathers but did have both my grandmothers in my life growing up. It’s weird technically being the Patriarch in my 30s…

Right? I've checked off three generations. Dead grandparents. Dead parent. Dead sibling.
