I had one grandpa who i saw 2 or 3 times a year and that was it. Not sure what i missed. Maybe t can teach me to make matzoh balls.

I had one grandfather, too. My dad's parents died before I was born (his father died when my dad was very young) and my maternal grandmother died before my firat birthday. So my morfar (maternal grandpa) was my only grandparent. I liked him, but I only saw him a couple of times a year, and could not fully understand his dialect until I was maybe ten...
I had a substitute grandmother, though, an elderly lady who lived nextdoor to us. I loved her very much.
