I would say that my grandmother was the most important woman in not just my life but also my daughters life.
I used to visit her reguarly, (every day towards the end of her life) with my daughter and she was just so loving and giving. She never judged me on anything, she excepted me 100% as I was , flaws and all. She wasn`t blind to my flaws like my mother was (she always wanted to think the best of us) but she loved me all the same.
She taught me to appreciate the life we have (hers was an extremely hard life) and to make the most of every chance we got. Not to be afraid of making mistakes just to take them and learn from them. She couldnt change her life, she often said that in this day and age she could have achieved so much more than just being a wife and a skivvy (she was in service at 13 and married at 16) but it wasnt to be for her.
She taught me never to ba ashamed of what I wanted to do wether it was being a mother or a career woman but just to do what made me happy.
She was such a large woman in so many ways and although she had had very little education she was probably the most intellegent person I could ever meet. She was full of sound practical advice ready whenever you asked for it , never volunteering it until it was asked for .
She died nearly 20 years ago and yet I can still picture her and what she would say in any given circumstances . I still miss her very much. So yes Grandmothers are important people in your life.

My grandmother was very important in my life. She was my best friend and I told her everything. I had both a mum and dad but wasn't that close to them, so couldn't really talk to them. I don't know how I would have coped without my beloved grandmother in my life.

Absolutely. The relationship between grandchild and child is do precious. They can learn so much and grow from it. I adore my grandmother, dont see her as much as I used to, but some of my strongest memories stem from time with her. I have a very strained relationship with my Mother-in-Law, infact we hardly speak, but it is so important to me that she sees her Grandsons (my children) and has access to them. She loves them, they love her, and I would never come between that. She would never hurt them or jeoporise them and I know that. My sons are unaware of our dislike for each other as we put them 1st and I am so glad we do. She has taught them cooking, piano and takes them to church, all things I cant fit into the week of a working single parent. They adore her, and I will never have to answer the question of "why didnt you let us know her" I can sleep at night.
I also know if anything happened to me, she would do the right thing by my boys and follow my wishes and I am fine with knowing that.
Yes, Grandparents are very important.

I damn well hope so!!!! I am going to be a grandmother in 4 months time, and I want to build a really good relationship with my grandchild. I want to make him happy and to benefit from my life experience. I also hope that when I am eventually no longer around, that he will remember me with a smile and pass on my knowledge to his children.

I never knew mine - but I am Granny to an 8 year old boy in NZ and have just flown half way across the world to see him, as I do every year. We have bonded, and he can talk about anything to me - I want to keep up that relationship, as it is important to him as well as me.

Yes, Grand parents are very important. If you are here is only because of them. Your life depends on them, that's why your grand mother is very important in your life.

yes, my grandmother was one of the most important people in my life. The struggles she survived WWII, she was an amazing woman.

Both of them were....they both died in the 90's, and I didn't realize how much they meant to me, and how important they were in my life until they were gone. I still miss them, and all the knowledge, love and help they gave me over the years. My one grandma helped me to get my drivers' license, and bought me my first car. My other grandma signed us both up for painting classes....I never painted before, and I found out I was pretty good, thanks to her. I was very lucky to have them.

depends on your relationship - I was the youngest so grandparents were either gone or Left us before I got to know them. I guess technically I say they were important - they enabled my parents to bring me to a life
