My grandpa loves to hear about our animals. I am the only grandchild of 9 of us who 'farms' so we have a great common ground when I call home.

Sadly, only my dad is left. He is 62 or 63, just had a birthday, I can't remember which. The good thing is that I don't think he can either

Mom passed away 9 1/2 years ago, at the age of 47. Both Grandma's died when I was 9 (so that was '84?? I think??), dad's dad died when I was 2, mom's dad died before mom and dad even got married, one G-grandma died when I was 7 or 8?? Something like that! And another one when I was 13. I don't know about G-grandpas or the other G-grandmas, well before I came along, that's for sure.

My mom is 57, my dad is 55. My mother' parents are both gone. My grandpa passed in 86 when I was 11 (they told the whole family at my birthday party, something I will never forget). I believe he was 62 at the time? He was born in '24. My grandma passed away when I was 4 1/2 months pregnant with my first daughter. She really wanted to meet her first great grandchild, it just wasn't meant to be. I was very close with her, lived with her and my mom my entire life, so it meant a lot to me that after she died I vowed to add her name into my baby's name if I was having a girl. We had planned to name the baby Kaitlyn Rose, and my grandmother's name was Margaret. Well, I had a girl and we named her Kaitlyn Rose Margaret. And it's eerie how much she looks like my grandmother too. Certain pictures I have of my daughter it's like looking at a darker version of my grandmother. As for my dad's parents, I never met my grandmother, and I don't even know if she's still alive. My grandfather died about 11 years before I was born. I have no idea how old either of there were, or even what their names were. My dad decided when my mom was 3 months pregnant with me that he wasn't ready to be a dad, and he quite literally dropped off the face of the planet. I located him when Katie was 6 weeks old and I kept in touch on and off for about 2 years with him but never really got to ask him the important questions. He liked to monopolize the conversation whenever I did talk to him. I'd like to find him again just to get some clarification and answers, mostly about my history from his side of the family, cause I have some weird health problems that I have no idea where they came from, and I'd like to know if they are hereditary. But first I need to get ahold of him!!! I am close with my mother's siblings who are all still alive. My Uncle Pat is 59, then there's my mom, then my Uncle Mike will be 55 this month, my Aunt Maureen will be 54 in November, and Aunt Margie just turned 52, though she tells everyone that she's still 21. I am the oldest grandchild and I'm 34, and the youngest is my cousin Jenny who is 14. There are 5 great grandchildren, all girls. My Katie, then my Emily, then my cousin Melissa's girls, Shaylan, Savannah, and the new baby girl that is due in November. No boys yet! None of my other cousins are ready, or willing, to have babies at this time, lol. I don't think I'll be having any more, but Melissa and her husband will probably try for a boy cause she really wants one. Plus there are 14 other grandkids that eventually will have one or two. So my grandma will be looking down from Heaven and smiling even more as the years pass.
