Good luck and I'm here for you too. I have been through this, I am running low on my number of grandparents. My great-grandpa (dad's grandpa) died a few years back, he had Alzheimer's I think. My grandpa (dad's dad) was the grandparent I was closest to; he used to buy me toys and play with me when I was little. But he died of cancer when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old and everyone in my family was so sad because he was such a great person (firefighter, police officer and artist) and I wish he was still here. I cried for a whole month after I lost my favorite toy, my teddy bear because my grandpa got him for me when I was born (in addition to the fact he became my security item) and I still see my mom's mom but she lives in Oregon with my mom's brother and sister and my cousins. My mom's dad was abusive and he's who the heck knows where now and I don't remember him much. And my dad's sister and her family are my close family and they live down the street from my high school and I visit them whenever I can because I love them and my dad's brother we haven't seen too much of but he's a cool guy.
