Grandparents.

Every once in a while, I crave a better relationship with my grandparents. I have occasionally asked a few friends, and even my parents, what their relationship with their grandparents was/are like.

A search for something common to feel less bad about what I have?

My mum said I don't feel close to any of my grandparents because they have never taken care of us when we were young. Is that right? That doesn't mean we can't make an effort to build the relationship after we grow up though.
