How long did you have both of your parents still living? (person, father)

[Serious Conversation]

Both are still alive.

My dad will be 60 in August and both of his parents are still alive. Mother's mother is still alive - her father died in 2009.

I was 43 when my Mother passed ( cancer) & Dad died 5 years later. I miss them both.

My dad died when I was 33 (I'm 51 now). My mom is still alive and kicking (boy does she kick! ) - she's in her mid/late 80's now (I think).

My mom died suddenly in November of 2005 of a heart attack. I was 43; she was 74.

My dad died in January of 2015 of kidney failure/complications from a MRSA infection in his artificial heart valve, after a month in the hospital followed by a month in hospice. I was 52; he was 84.

If she's lucky. My wife's grandmother has spent the last 10 years not having any idea where she is, what's going on around her, everyone she comes in contact with every day is a complete stranger to her even if they've known her for decades, etc. It's an extremely confusing, maddening, and scary life for her.

I was 10 when my dad died in an industrial accident. 50's when Mom passed away. Thinking about it I do not know anyone in their 50's /60's who still has both parents.

I was 56 when my mother died 4 years ago, and 60 when my dad died last October.

I'm 39 with both parents still living (thank God). My mother who is 61, still has both her parents; 78 & 79.

I was 4 when my dad was killed, and 65 when my mom died.
