I didn't know either of my grandmothers. One died when I was ten, the other when I was twelve. I mean I knew them but I didn't really know them if you know what I mean. Same with my grandfathers, only they both died before I was born.

I do have a set of grandparents who were my mom's foster parents when she was a teenager in the foster care system. That grandfather, before he passed away, gave me a love of foreign languages, playing instruments, and being a life long learner in general.
