Loss

[avidbard]

I have lost my last surviving grandparent. I'm not even 40 yet. I consider myself lucky to have known 4 wonderful, diverse people for as long as I did (although I was not as close to my paternal grandfather). But, when I was growing up, I believed I would have my family until I was old myself. Obviously, this was one of those childhood fantasies

I'm sorry for your loss.

I've actually lost all of my blood-related grandparents and have 2 step-grandmothers remaining [one of which I don't have a lot in common with, nor have I seen her in at least a decade], but they're still grandmothers to me...
