Yeah, I still have grandparents that are living. I have a great-grandmother and great-grandmother (as well as grandmother) on my dad's side still breathing, which is really cool. Sadly, my grandfather passed away, as well as his father, who died during the war. (WWII) I wish I could've met him...
As far as I know, all my grandparents on my mom's side are deceased...
Anyway, I don't really see my grandparents that much now since they're all the way in California, and I'm here stuck in Ohio. =/ But when I still lived in Cali, I see them quite frequently enough.

I have both grandparents on both my mom and dads side. I'm close to both of them. My one set of grandparents live close to me, my other live 3 hours away. I also have a great-great grandma that lives in West Virginia. She'll be turning 98 or 99 this coming February

The TMI-train is pulling into the station...
I only really ever had one grandparent- my grandmother. She actually cared about me. Her husband...which I guess would technically be my grandfather...was a fucking alcoholic and an asshole. I wasn't allowed to call him "grandfather." I had to call him "Mr. So-and-So" (not giving out my last name ;p). He was always drinking something and when I was a baby, he used to play a game where he would make mean faces at me and make me cry. He also always called me "Charlie." I don't remember him once ever addressing me by my actual name. Needless to say, the day he I heard he died, I started laughing. But that's because I'm a spiteful bitch
My mom's parents both died early on. Her mother died before I was born, which is too bad, since apparently I'm like a carbon copy of her. I even have the same mannerisms as she does o_O It makes me pretty sad because from the stories I've heard, she sounded awesome ;_; Her father died when I was really small. Apparently, he was a very nice man. I don't really remember much about him.

My great-granmother was still alive when I was 6 My grandma and step-grandad are still alive. My real grandad was killed by a crane when he was 38. He was hit in the head and fell on the cold December snow...

I have no grandparent's left and there was only my gran on my dads side that I was really close to, I used to see her alot til I fell out with my dad quite afew years ago. Then I didn't visit so much. She died about 3 years ago, a week after I was supposed to see her after a cousins wedding but I didn't go. I think I will regret that forever.
My granddad on my mums side died when I was about 5 I remember he used to make me egg & soldiers but he lived in Newcastle so I didn't get too see him much. Oddly I still miss him loads which I find weird.
My other 2 grandparents died before I was born so all in all, I've never had that huge family experience either. It makes me sad sometimes but, what can you do?

On my dad's side, only my grandmother is alive. I don't see her very often, and she's in a home now sadly. It's the safest option for her, since she's very frail with osteoporosis. She's not able to do much when we meet her, and when we meet her we take her out to eat or around a historic building. Often, we don't have the best of times since it tends to rain on the days we pick to see her...
I remember my grandfather though, but sadly I never knew him. I can only remember who he was when he had Parkinsons. I still have fond memories. He'd give me vanilla ice cream in a cone, and would place buttons around it! Sadly, these memories were all so distant when he died that I couldn't feel sadness for his passing. I never knew him, and when I was old enough to get to know him, he was too ill. He didn't talk a lot, I can remember that, but he smiled.
On my mother's side, my grandparents are still healthy, which is great! I don't see them often either, but they're a lot of fun and more easy going than any other adults I know. I even got my grandmother to dance every night when they came down for a week in place of my parents, who went up to the Lake District!
