My grandparents all died before I was old enough to travel anywhere, and they were all in the UK and didn't make it out to Australia. I may have said "hello" on the phone once or twice ? Or maybe not, can't really remember.
... then I discovered I was adopted, and "gained" two more grandparents (of whom I've met one).
Bub has "met" all 8 of his grandparents, and his great-grandfather, but it might be a few more years before he has coherent memories of them.
I'm just hoping we have some more time for him to spend time with them all and get to know them a bit (they're 60ish to 90 years old now, so ... ).
