Beverage Fridge, 3rd Row!!
I only see my maternal grandmother once a year cuz she lives in DR. I talk to her like twice a week over the phone and facetime. I saw my mother's biological father in December after not seeing him for like 8 years. My mother's step father (the man that raised her) died in 07

my paternal grandmother lives with my parents so I see her almost everyday. She's a fukking G too, she's always dropping jewels on me, we go sneaker shopping together, and she's stood up for me my entire life. I lived with her in DR for almost 4 years when I was really young so she's like my 3rd parent

my paternal grandfather though:francis:

I hope the devil is ass fukking him in hell. He was a sexual predator, child molester, serial absentee father, and killed an innocent man. my paternal grandmother was 14 when she had his baby, he was 35. he was a disgusting human being, fukk that cac :yeshrug:

Dad's Mama died years before I was born. Legend has it that's the only time anyone has ever seen him cry.

Dad's Daddy was in very poor health and had Alzheimer's since I was a boy. He could barely talk,
so we never really had any conversations.


Ma's Mama is the only grandparent I still have alive, and she cool. For the most part, she just
checks up to see if i'm healthy. I get it - she has like 40 grandkids. Her bake game is SICK, doe.


Ma's Daddy was Squad. That's O.G.
Taught me how to fish, taught me how to shoot, laced me wit' game.
Miss him all the time.

I live with them actually. I'm the first born of the kids' children so they kinda treat me like their youngest daughter :mjcry:
I'm very close to them, I get to thinking like damn they're 73......:lupe: and then fall down the rabbit hole crying :mjcry:

This was me! My Mom had me when she was 16, so they took me in. My Grandma has always been there for me, but my Grandpa was my very best friend and my world. We have a pretty fukked up family, so it was always us against them. We even moved out of the main house and had our own for a few years when I was in high school. I could go on forever telling stories about him. Lost him almost 3 years ago and it hurts every day :mjcry:

I'm close to both sides though one set is dead and gone now. And my grandfather on the other side is dead. So I only have one living grandparent left:rip:

I'll go past just grandparents I'm close to all my uncles/aunts and cousins. My father's side lived 45 minutes away and we saw them all the time. And my moms side was even closer so I saw them every week on Sundays when we would all go over to my grandparents.

Absolutely none of my first or second cousins on either side are strangers to me. I know some people grow up hardly seeing family and their only connection to extended family is blood.

Even though we've spread out through the years I still see most everybody 1-2 times a year

Know both sets of grandmother's and my grandfather on my dad's side. I also know my greatgrandmother and greatgrandfather (who passed away a few years ago) on my mom's side. Went to visit them in Jamaica in April. Fun fact is my grandmother on my dad's side is older than my greatgrandparents.

Anyway I live with my grandmother on my dad's side. I love her but she's a buck dancing church going sambo so the relationship is meh to me. Grandfather died in 06.

My grandma on my mom's side is the GOAT person on the planet. Not on some c00n shyt or some religious nut shyt like my mom. Grandfather died when my mom was young so I never met him.

Nah. I only met them twice in my life and they lived in Africa.

My mother's mom died in December and I couldn't really feel sad because I didn't know her :mjcry:

:ohhh: Makes sense why u go in on "militants"

i go in on coli militants. not real militants who are actually out in real life doing shyt. these coli militants dont do shyt but complain online and then go kiss their white boss ass. soft as baby food. got no time for passive aggressive people. these idiots aint saying shyt to white peopl in real life.
