How great were your "grandparents" ??!


Question: My grandmother, left Italy right after the Second World War, with 4 young children in her care, on a big boat to South America. There, she worked night and day in a Hospital as a nurse, raised her 4 kids (her hubby, my grandfather was an alcoholic) and my dad, when he was 18, kicked his own father out of the house, because he was abusive. My grandmother, never ever complained, was as sweet as sugar, and had so much time to hug and kiss us. R.I.P. since 7 years ! I miss her so much !!!

My granparents were lovely people. I was their first grandchild and spent many a "sleepover" with them on weekends. We always had a grand time! I loved them dearly. Sadly, they are gone now, but the memories of the wonderful times we shared will last me a lifetime!

Good morning Clo!

I love them heaps :D

My nan was great....
even used to fart in public!

My grandad made home made beer and wine, and my grandmother drank it.

they were great..god bless their souls.

morning dear.

I never knew either set of grandparents, unfortunately. But I hear they were just everyday people, worked hard to feed their family.

I never met any of my grandparents, so I have had to rely on stories about them , my mum's mum sounds so lovely. I am into genealogy in a big way, and have found lots of intriguing stuff about them. Like an aunt was trampled to death when she went into town to watch a public hanging, and three of my g/g/g grandparents notched up 11 marriages between them but no divorces in between any of them.

Miss the days staying at grandmas and waking up to the smell of fresh breakfast in the air and grandma humming away as she cooked....RIP mom mom and pop pop......And your Grandma sounded like one heck of a grandma also...Take care

My grandfather was a doctor in the Phillipenes during WWII and was tested on by the government for medicines which in the end gave him many problems. He had to take 40 pills a day to live.

My grandmother was a nurse in the Pacific during WWII and was the nicest grandparent I ever had and by far one of my favorites. She had such a fiery personality! Amazing!

My other grandfather was a spy in Africa during WWII and on an excursioin to England met my grandmother. He was an alcoholic and joined the AA and stayed clean for over 50 years.

My grandmother was in the British Land Army in WWII and left her home with a child by the age of 25 for the name of love. She suffered from depression in her later days to recover only to die from the results of a car crash.

Basically amazing in my opinion!

they were great! epecilly my grandma, she was always there no matter what, i miss her too. a lot.

when I was young my father was in Iraq, so i was raised by my grandparent ( from my mother side), i used to call them mummy an daddy and my mother by her name thinking that she is my sister cuz she was very young at that time.by the age of 7 my father came from Iraq and we moved to another city but my relationship with them remained the same i loved them more than any thing else.
my grandma passed away in 2003 and my grandpa 7 months ago>>>>now all I have is beautiful memories that I 'll never forget.

On the 13th it will be the one year anniversary of my Gram's death....
She had an extremely abusive father and at 16 her mother signed a paper letting her marry my Gramps....and her mother took a beating for it...but she knew she had to get my Grams out of the house...and my Gramps adored Grams....She went on to have 9 children of her own, 4 Foster children, and she brought 2 of her grandchildren home from the hospital...me being one of them (Mom was too sick..and I was released first) and the other because the mother (not her child) was declared an unfit mother.....and the state would not release my cousin to her...So, Grams took her in....Also, she had 4 of her grandchildren living under her roof....There was always laughter, love, games, animals and the loving touch of her hands....She was the first one up and the last one to bed...We never missed Mass and it was practiced at home as well....She taught me to bake....she taught me respect... and she taught me to be true to myself...
I always had her support and unconditional love....This has been a very long lonely year...I lost my very best friend, my mentor, my mother (my Mom is more like a sister to me), my hero and the one person I could always count on.....I miss her so much it is a physical ache...deep inside me.....
I only scratched the surface of all she was....
Her legacy is ...... 9 children, 4 Foster children, 32 grandchildren, and 36 great grandchildren....I believe she lives on..........
Peace...

I have no clue; they were all dead before I was born.
