I think it's a very important relationship, grandparents, as they often treat the grandchild differently than the parents treat their own child...There's still discipline and all, but it's different, and that allows a great opportunity to learn and develop differently; that's how it was with me anyway. I wish I'd met my dad's dad but he died before I was born.

I think the same thing, for my part I did not know my maternal grandmother. It was a geberation that lived very hard times and my grandmother died of "weakness" (for lack of food). However her presence has always been in the family, that is my experience, so I believe that the grandparents we did not know are also a great influence in our lives.
