“Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.”
~ Alex Haley ~
Today Grandparents Day reaches its 30th anniversary. Today is a day for family celebration, and a chance to honor the important role grandparents play in children’s lives.
NY and I are blessed to have our three grandchildren in our lives on an almost daily basis. We get to take an active part in their lives tending to their needs while their parents work and having sleep-overs just for the fun of it.
“Because (grandparents) are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.”
~ Jimmy Carter ~
