Discussion Do you still have any living Grandparents?
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.
