I was close to my paternal grandparents growing up but they moved back to the homeland when I was in 7th grade. Grandfather passed 3 yrs later and grandmother passed 10 yrs later. I also wondered why I didn't get too emotional about it.
My other grandfather passed when I was in college and that did hit me. He used to visit every year.
I think it just comes down to how close you were with said individual.
