My grandparents are all dead.
Maybe that's why I have such a soft spot for the elderly.
I never got to meet my grandpa, my dad's dad, because he died before I was born.
My grandma, my dad's mom, died about...5 years ago. I got to meet her and spend time with her. I think she got Dementia or Alzheimer's because she slowly lost her memory and didn't know where she was or what she was doing.
My grandma, my mom's mom, got cancer and was getting chemo treatments and she died when I was about 5 years old.
I don't remember a lot of things, but I remember her. I remember her wearing wigs and I remember my grandpa calling us and telling us she died.
I went to their house and ran to their room to see her, but she was gone.
My grandpa, my mom's dad, was like a third parent to me. He let me live with him and he helped raise me.
He got cancer too, but only lasted a few months. It hurt a lot when he died.
My great grandma, my grandpa's mom, I got to meet and visit her and she went with us out of town for my sister's hospital visits.
She also died from cancer.
