How many of your grandparents are still alive?

All have passed away now - all mid to late 70s. The last being my paternal grandfather who died about 15 years ago. Always regret not spending more time with him. I hadn't seen him in a year before he died between summers away and weekends on the beer as an undergraduate.

I was closest to my maternal grandfather of all my grandparents and still think about him a lot even though he passed away 25 years ago. Have lots of his possessions still which I treasure.

I actually remember my great grandmother on my father's side who lived to a fine age. My abiding memory being she was tiny next to me!

I have all 4 of mine, 3 in reasonably good health

I have 3 left, all in their mid/late 80s and no contact to them since one has dementia and 2 are horrible people.
And me living 2000km away might be a factor.

Two living grandmothers, aged 78 and 81. I'm 35 and my sons are 3.5 and 20 months. My grandfathers died in 1993 (aged 67) and 2015 (aged 77).

Both grandfather dead, one of leukemia in his 50s the other bring a raging alcoholic died in his 70s not sure why.

Both grandmother's in late 70s, don't see either due to odd family circumstance and one being a horrible auld witch.

My two grandmothers aged 87 and 85 are still alive and kicking thank god! Both grandfathers only died in the last few years, one at 88 in 2014 and the other at 89 in 2018.

I’m 33 and I feel incredibly lucky to have had all four of them for as long as I did, to be so close to them and to still have my grannies now.
