I am 31 years old (32 in March) and feel so blessed to have known all 4 of my grandparents for many years. I was 17 when my dad's dad passed and 29 when my mom's dad passed. My grandma's are both 85 years old and are in over-all good health, but my mom's mom is losing her mental capabilities, but it's not Alzheimer's but her sister died almost 2 years ago from the disease at 97.
We have had a few family members pass over the past two years, my grandpa included. I had a cousin commit suicide in November and my dad is constantly talking about how the days are numbered for him and he constantly talks about my one grandpa.
I try not to think about when my two grandmas may pass. I thank God each day they are still with me, but in the back of my mind I know how hard it will be the day it happens. I hate to face that reality, but right now I am enjoying the time I am still blessed to have with them.
Anyone else think like my dad is or am I just missing something? I remember when my first grandpa died, they told me it would happen probably in 5 years the rest would go and it was 11 years. I am getting so sick of my dad talking about this topic and its like hello be happy they are alive and well, but with my moms mom headed the same way as her sister, it's on my mind what is yet to come....and it scares me.
