Did you ever meet any of your great grandparents?
Yes my last great grandparent (great grandma) died last year in December, we even shared the same bday. She became 93 years old. Born 1925. We werent close as she did some shady shit and didn't like my grandpa. But my great grandpa who died in 2011 at the age of 90 loved my grandpa and had himself cremated and put in the same place as him.

Yes i did, on both sides. Pity i was only around 12 years old when they passed on. I still remember my great grandmother... she would always have time to tell me stories and read. The day she passed on, my mom told " she is gone to sleep hun" :') There was just something unique about older generations of women that were so feminine.
My maternal great grandmother when I was really young, I don't remember her much other than visiting her once and one time when she gave me a dollar. All of my other great grandparents were dead when I was born, and both of my grandfathers died when I was three. My maternal grandmother is the only grandparent still alive now.

Yes, I was lucky to have both of my paternal great-grandmothers in my life up until a few years ago. One lived to be 101 and died in 2010, the other was 95 when she died in 2011.
The one lived far away and I didn't get to see her very often so we weren't very close. The other I was very close to.

I met my great-grand father in his deathbed in Greece. I didn’t speak Greek and he didn’t speak English so everything was translated. It was wonderful to meet him and hard to see him go. I’ll never forget the funeral in the tiny Greek Orthodox Church.

Yes, three of them died when I was a teenager. I wasn't too close with any of them.
My mom's grandma was in a nursing home for most of my childhood and we'd visit her every so often, until we moved. My mom still feels bad for not making time to visit her more before she passed.
We only really saw my dad's grandparents on holidays, until they became senile. Then we'd visit them as often as we could at their nursing home. They died 4 months apart. -
Both my grandfathers passed away when I was. One passed when I was 2. I barely remember him and the other passed when I was 6 or 7. Both my grandmothers have passed too. The first in 2008 and the other in 2015.

I don't remember but I have photos of me sitting in my great grandmother's lap when I was 2, maybe 3. That's all. Other than that, my last grandparent died when I was 12.
-
No I barely got to know my grandparents. My Dad's Mom died the day I was born holding me in her arms. And My Mom's Dad fied when I was three and her Mom died when I was 5.
-
Hell I didn’t even meet my grandfathers and hardly ever saw my grandmothers. Don’t even know their names so no I have no clue who my great grandparents are.
-
Well my grandparents were born in the 1920s, so my great grandparents would be like late 1890s or something. So they were dead long before I was born
-
Yes. My great grandfather died when I was little. I remember him through. My great grandmother (his wife) died a few years ago.
I remember her fondly -
Most of mine have past away due to end of life complications like sodium intake, but they were very fond and outgoing people with unique personalities.
-
My great grandmother is still around, but dementia has her and she's not been the same person for a while
-
Yes 5 of them. I remember 3 of my great grand mothers quite well. They all lived into their 90s and were in pretty good shape. I was around 17 when the last one died.. The two great grandfathers on the other hand I only vaguely remember.
-
I met my great grandmother. I was 4 when she passed away. We didn't had much of a relationship since she was very old, as we later realised she had dementia, and she was bedridden. I was too young at that time to understand what was going on, but it made sense many years later.
-
I met my great grand mother. She passed away when I was around 17-18. She had 10 kids and too many grand kids and great grand kids so I was just one more to her, lol.
-
My great grandma was my best friend. We had a very special bond, my middle name was her name. She passed away about 3 years ago. I miss her all the time

I met my great grandmother on my dad's side. She. died about 8 years ago now. We weren't that close. I only saw her on holidays
-
I only knew my step-grandpa.
The rest of my grandparents were dead, with the exception of my grandma, who died when I was 1 -
Yeah. My great grandmother, though I was very young (2-3) and only remember a few snippets of her.
-
My great grandparents were born in the mid to late 1800s. It wasn't a possibility.
