Well, mine are all dead - I knew 3/4, close with only 1 - He passed when I was 9. 

I'll see him again one day, and we'll eat taco bell (his favorite) in the Kingdom. 

You might have to settle for hot sauce on manna bread

after reading through some of the thread I have realized just how blessed I am...    I spent time with both sets of grandparents during the summer and we had Sunday dinner with my mothers mom and dad most of my life until I left home to be on my own and moved too far away to be there every week.

For those of you who watched that TV show I pretty much had a Beaver Cleaver childhood....   mother, father, grandparents 14 aunts and uncles and I don't know how many cousins and we all got together at least once a year.    Every year we have a two family reunion and have since 1959.  Even though the aunts and uncles have passed still the cousins and their kinds and grandkids meet to keep up with each other. Last year there were 110 of us  and a good part of them are Face Book friends; though none of us tend to post every little thing that happens every day.   But we know who's sick and who needs what kind of help even though we are scattered all over the country.

Yes, I am blessed for I can't think of any of them that are not believers....       Wow,   I truly am blessed.

I believe heaven has a taco bar. I mean, it's "Glory" afterall.

Mine are all gone and I miss them terribly!!!!

I was half-raised by all four.  Our families were close and always at each other's house.  

I have such wonderful and blessed memories of all four of them.

There was no loving this one more or that one more.  All I knew was love.

I lived in my maternal grandmother's home till I was 13.  We had moved into an apartment in her house at the end of WW2.  Grandpa died a few years later so we stayed on to help with the yard and house.  I had the run of the house and loved her sunny large living room.  She loved God's word and I had to be quiet every afternoon at 4 PM when she read the Scriptures.  She testified how she loved the psalms. I learned reverance for God's word through her testimony.   She was very old fashioned and wouldn't let me wear shorts during the summer when I was 4.  Mr Meggelbe across the street would wear shorts while mowing the lawn and she would peak from the behind the shade and watch him saying "Isn't that terrible!" lol   No air conditioning in those days.

My dad's dad had died of diphtheria a month before he was born.  My grandmother lived in another state and I hardly knew her.

The lyrics of an early Terry Taylor song," Mall All Over the World" say: "this must be Heaven!  Can't you see those golden arches?"

Grandparents are the most beautiful memory and the kindest people in the world ever known to me.
