Well, here goes.
I was one of four, two sisters and one brother, all are gone-on. Parents are gone as well. Daddy was 86 and mother was 81. I was divorced seven years ago and it blew a HOLE in my life. I have a 4.5 year old Shih Tzu, two grand daughters and two grandsons.....a son and a daughter and the most wonderful son in law (I don't do abrevs). None of the young ones are near nor bother to keep in touch. So, I sew.

I'm really surprised at how many people don't have contact with their family members.

Grandma died in 2002. Not sure how old she was. Only grandparent I really knew. GrandDad died when I was 8, so I have a few memories of him.

Dad's 54, Mom died at 38 in 1998.
I'm 26, married, no kids yet.
Sister's 22, brother's 11.

OK This should be easy. My Dad died in 1983, my mom is 79 and still doing well. I am one of two girls and the baby. My sister is 58 and I am 54. My Mom's mom lived to be 94 and so for five years we had five generations. Took pics. too. My sister has three boys and 7 GKS, I have 1 daughter who has two children, and two stepchildren who are like my own. The son has three boys ages 4,2, and 7 months. The middle girl is 31, no children yet. My MIL is 84 and still alive, FIL passed in 2001.
My DH is 64. We have Duke (BLood HOund), Harley Mixed large mutt, Popeye ( a chihuahua) a yard full of stray cats I feed here in the country.
