My grandma was an angel, she had chubby cheeks and pale blue eyes. She was nice to everyone and everyone loved her.
I felt like I could tell her anything and she gave the best hugs. All of her love was wrapped in her hugs!

Dad's side: Grandfather is a WWII vet, 90 yrs old and sort of angry & grumpy all his life, worked hard but really didn't have too much hardship either. Grandmother is loony but sweet, about like a 11 yr old girl mentally and has epilepsy.
Mom's side: Didn't meet my grandfather but he was Italian and very classy. My grandmother was a big busty woman who loved gossip but was passionate about everything in life and really nice until she was murdered at age 80.

My maternal Grandma, is one of the sweetest people I've ever known. She has tons of wisdom to share, and funny stories of her life. My maternal Grandpa died many years ago, but I remember him as funny and quite a prankster.
My paternal Grandma is an avid reader, like myself, and she has quite a sense of humor. My paternal Grandpa I never really knew, but I know he was artistic and he liked to make things.

Polygamists. My grandfather has 5 wives. He looks like he is 100 and he has since I first met him... Nice guy though, always first to offer a hug.

Biodad... Never met either one of them. Grandfather passed years ago. Grandmother passed when I was en route to see her... She lived a long life and was a self made successful Englishwoman.
Stepdad... Hardworking folks from Alabama. They emigrated north for a better life in the 1940s. They were great cooks. Grandfather was a WWII Navy veteran. Alcohol and cancer claimed them too soon.
Mom... Two hardworking folks. Grandfather was an Army veteran of WWII. Grandmother was an immigrant that settled into the Greater Philadelphia area. Alcohol and diabetes claimed them too soon.

My Grandma was a sweet, submissive woman from Sweden who raised 5 boys and chain smoked until the day she died. My grandpa, her husband, was the total opposite. He was a gruff old man who fought in the war. As healthy and active as he could be up until his sudden, unexpected death doing one of the things he loved most: gardening.
My other Grandpa played professional football for the Cleveland Browns (back when they were the Rams) and has extra appearances in many old movies. He died when I was still a baby, but from what I'm told he was always the guy cracking jokes, and I know he loved his family dearly.
My Nana is my only living grandparent. At 95 years old, her mind is as sharp as a tack and so is her tongue. I spend a lot of time with her (I might be one of her favorites) and I don't think either of us lets the other get away with anything, which I appreciate. She's said it many times before, and I have to agree, she's lived through the most amazing century to date. I don't think she was much of a mother or a wife, but she's a tough old broad and I love her.

Very old-world. Most of my family left Germany in the late 20s and early 30s before travel was restricted.

My paternal grandfather died when my father was 9, so I never met him. My paternal grandmother on the other hand was very sweet, even if she did play favorites with her grandchildren. My maternal grandparents I really didn't get to spend much time around. They only came to see us on rare occasions and never stayed more than a few hours. I got to know my maternal grandmother better later in her life, but my grandfather on that side had passed many years before. My parents (especially my mother) really wanted myself and my brothers to know our grandparents better, but it just didn't seem that important to them to get to know our side of the family. I have many cousinswho were very close to them. But due to the distance between us, I and my brothers didn't get that chance.

My grandma is a very intuitive amazing person. She has nothing, but love and compassion in her heart. My grandfather is a great guy, but a little scary. Violence fixes everything in his eyes.
