My father lived to 86, and got to know his grandchildren. The youngest was born when he was 64, the youngest when he was 69. I guess it depends on what you mean "really know".
- rootusrootus 6y ago64 and 77 are pretty far apart. At 86, the grandkid would then be 9 years old. My dad lived to be 86, and my kids are 7 & 9. There definitely wasn't enough time to form a deep relationship. He enjoyed their company, but they weren't too interested in getting to know him, and in the final few years of his life he was slowing down considerably so it's easy to understand why. He was 77 when my daughter was born, just like the example from GP.
