Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's like the reverse of when I say my grandparents died in the 20s and 30s.
Woah. It sure is.

My oldest grandparent would be 108 were he alive. The youngest, probably 97. Both my parents were born to parents over 30, and I wasn't born until my parents hit their 30s. They were all gone by the time I hit 20. Hell, three were gone by 16.
I hope my nephews have more time.

All the family age stuff is funny -- I told a coworker I was going to my grandmother's 89th birthday, and she said, "Your grandmother's young!" We're the same age, and I guess both of her grandmothers are mid-90s. I was like, dude, my other grandmother just turned 80! And my parents were married for like 7 years before I was born.
Your grandmother's young!
If my mother's parents were still alive, they'd be 107 and 106, respectively.
My "young" grandparent would have been 92 today, but she died at the ripe old age of 87.

Speaking of Baby Picspam... sometimes Joy and abject fear are close on the spectrum. though I do think this is joy.

I just realized if my oldest uncle were still alive he would be 105.

A friend of mind in college's mother grew up orphaned and living on the streets of Paris during the Holocaust (she was jewish.) She shared it rather obliquely, but it left an impression, partly because it had always seemed like it was one more generation away. And it's funny to be reminded of it today, as in today's paper there was an obit on a local woman who'd survived the Holocaust with her infant son in Czechoslovakia at the time. They were all of her family to survive. She was 97, and I've seen her interviewed on her experience on various local specials.

Because books.
My grandmothers are both 93 (my grandfathers are both dead). But then Stephen's *father* is 83, which is weird for me.

My last grandparent died in 1986. I think they were all born 1900-1910, though I'm not positive about my dad's mother.
