[quote=Anonymous]Grew up with both sets. One g/f died in my teens, both my paternal grandparents dies when I was in my 30s and my maternal g/m is still alive. My maternal grandparents lived about 10 houses away form us growing up so I saw them pretty much every day. I was very close to them and I am still close to my grandmother. My paternal grandparents both had fairly severe depression most of their lives. They had very little energy and weren't particularly chatty. I think they wanted to engage with us, they just couldn't. We used to go and visit them about once every six weeks. We would all sit around the living room and stare at the walls. My grandmother was a great cook and baker so we often had great snacks there. When they reached their 90s the grip of the depression seemed to lift and they became more engaged and friendlier. I spent more time their in my early thirties with them then I ever had before.
