She was my only living Grandparent (all the others died before my parents were even married) and she had a pretty hard life. She also had close to 40 grandkids so there wasn’t exactly alot of special attention for anyone. I was the second to the last grandchild so the novelty had kind of worn off and was soon replaced by the newness of Great Grandchildren. But I still enjoyed the few times I had her to myself and I have fond memories of her – her syrup like grape koolaid, the fact that on really hot days she like to enjoy a beer, that she always like to play dirty bingo at family reunions and the time she asked me to explain electricity to her and I explained that she needed to ask the nuclear physist grandson that question not the English major.

I lived only a short distance from my Dad’s parents when I was growing up. For better or for worse, my grandfather says that I am the modern-day clone of my grandmother. I only wish I had gotten to know my Mom’s mother and had been able to spend more time with my Grumps. It sounds like your children are also fortunate to have excellent grandparents. I know for a fact that their grandparents have most excellent grandchildren.
