posting this. Memories made with grandparents are so important. My Dad died this summer and my niece and nephew (who are adults now) have great memories spending time with him, especially my nephew. Their grandmother ( my brother in-laws Mom) died as well this year and they spent a lot of time with her as well and they miss both of them. My Mom is still alive, but not doing well. To possibly lose all their grandparents in the same year will be difficult for them and for me as well.
None of my grandparents lived nearby when I was growing up and often wonder now what I missed out on.
