    Oh and her daughters and one son who live a few mind away, are not going over there! I swear his family is stupid.

    Glad she has you because it sounds like the rest of the family is worthless.

    Edit- mobile sucks.

    Wow. People suck. Makes me want to go visit my grandmas more (both are 200ish miles away in opposite directions).

    We go once a month. GMIL is a hoot.

    ETA: she is in Nashville. We are in Atlanta. You should go visit your grandparents. You will learn so much. If you are luck, like me, you can learn about fun things. Once GMIL called me at midnight to tell me about "Talk Sex." She and her husband were watching.

    Oh my! Neither of mine are quite so open. GMIL on the other hand is quite free with the stories about driving around drinking and getting frisky when she was younger. DH just informed me the other night that she was pregnant at her wedding- I was both shocked and not to hear this for the first time (nearly 10 years after meeting her).

    There is a story we were told at a funeral about GMIL, GFIL (j) and his nephew (w) and wife. I think there isn't enough bleach in the world to clean H's brain. I on the other hand couldn't stop laughing. J took W and the women to a strip club.

    Nothing like watching grandpa get a lap dance. Or him watching you get one!

    Edit-ok so uncle... But still.

    They were teens/young adults. They were more like friends, than nephew and uncle.

    I'd give anything to have another conversation with my grandparents. Luckily DH has 3 living and we try to talk to them at least monthly. We are too far away for personal visits.

    My condolences for your loss MW.

    Dude, we talk to GMIL several times a week. GMIL is my world. She is a huge part of who I have become.

    Call more often. You will not regret it. :)

    First, Condolences @Mysterious_wife.  Secondly, I wish I could have my Mom's Mom back.  She was one of my best friends and I think about her almost daily.  She would think my FI was a hoot and of course, I'd give anything for them to meet.  

    FI has his one GM and GF still.  He doesn't talk to GF due to family reasons (which I understand, I wouldn't want to speak with him either) but we try to talk to GM a lot.  She lives about 5 minutes up the road and we're going to see her (hopefully if her health is in order) this weekend.  She's been sick on and off - more her nerves than anything, but I'd rather not get sick (I REALLY can't afford it.).

    Sorry about your loss. My grandparents all passed either before I was born or when I was very young, so I really don't know what that relationship is like. I'm jealous.

    Family obligations mean nothing anymore, it's just every man for himself. So selfish. MW you've got some good karma coming back to you when you reach old age.

    Sorry to hear about your loss, MW, and also heartened and made me smile to hear you talk about GMIL and the good parts of family.  I'm a good 2500 miles from my family and so often wonder how I ever made the choice to move so far away.  Glad GMIL has a great support in you and DH even if the rest of the family is crap!  (My ILs are only 4 states away and while I love some of them, others I'd like to ship to North Korea or similar).
