Grandpa married my grandmother four years before I was born. So when I was born, he was "Grandpa" and I can't quite get that some people think it's odd that I consider him my grandfather. (Some people go out of their way to repeat "He's not really your grandfather." I always say yes, he is my grandfather, we're just not related by blood.)

My grandmother passed away when I was in the first grade. Several years later Grandpa married Ann, who is obviously much too young to be my grandmother and therefore gets the honorific "Ann."

I've spent more time with them than any of my other relatives. They're in town for a month and there will be many evenings of food, drink, and conversations that end up with me looking in the Almanac to settle a dispute. Like how many Popes were named Pius or how many Hitchcock films Grace Kelly was in.
