I only had one when I was really quite small. She lived up in Perth, Scotland and I saw her only the once. So I didn't really know what she was like. Now I only I have one grandparent left and she is likely die before I have kids, so my kids will never know their great grandparents. I do a bit of family history, and it has only just occurred to me that one of the relatives that I found most fascinating was my great grandmother that I saw when I was a child.

My Great Grannie was alive. She was a small, wiry person with an enormous personality. She kept well and did her own shopping and housework until she was 103. She climbed on top of her old fashoined sewing machine, to straighten the window blind and fell, breaking her hip. After that ,she was bedridden. Gradually, her mind went but when we visited, she thought she was in her twenties and told magic stories of what she thought was happening in the village. She lived t o104 and a half!.

Yes, I had a great grandmother, what a character too, she had 10 children, moved to New Zealand when her husband died and took them to a better life. She came back when I was a baby, my father was her grandson, she married a lovely man 10 years her junior when she was 75 and died at 85.
She was small and round and good natured.

i had my great great grandfather until i was 4 although i don't remember him. my great grandfather until i was 8 he was very kind and loving although very strict. And i had my great grandmother until 2004 when i was 28. I always felt loved and safe with her and she used to look after us for my mum and dad and make up stories for us. she taught me to crochet and that loving and caring for people is very important. i was devestated when she died and still cannot really cry for her. I think if i started i wouldn't stop. I named my daughter for her and my dad'sa mum as i lost them both within 6 months of each other and my daughter was born in the november 2004

Only 1 of them. My dad's paternal grandmother. I only met her when I was a toddler, and again at her funeral ... I didn't get to know her. She had quite a long life as well - 107 years.

my great grandma Lucy was alive when I was a little kid.
She had dementia so all I can really remember is being scared of her which is quite sad

I remember my great grandmother. She was little, with white hair and gave me terrible tasting candy that didn't have any sugar in it.
