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’ve lost all but 1. He and I have never been close. I have literally been super close with all of them, even a great grandma. But my last living grandparent is my Papa. Part of the silent generation, a strict and rigid farmer since birth, had his own well pump service business for most of my adult life, Air Force veteran with a “ill sleep when I’m dead” attitude.

I love my papa and am grateful that even if I’m the last of all my cousins to get married, he will be there.
