We’ve all been down on our luck, made mistakes, or done something that we later realized was just really, really dumb. During thick and thin, however, our families have always been there. While it’s our parent’s job to something chastise us and lecture us on where we’ve done the wrong thing, our grandparents are almost always there to give us unconditional support and help. Yes, parents do this, too, but grandparents seem to always be there to spoil us a bit.
Why do grandparents always love us so much? Perhaps because they know they can spoil us and give us all the unconditional love we want, and then they send us home! That’s not the only reason, though. Our grandparents grew up in a different time, a time that was, in many ways, much harder than ours. They understand what it’s like to be in trouble, to really need help, and now that they’ve made it through their tough times, they’re in a position to help. Maybe they had someone (their own grandparents, perhaps) help them out when they needed it, and now they want to pass it on. Maybe they just hate to see us struggling so. Whatever the reason, they’re always there with a hug, a kind word, and more if it’s needed.
This Sunday (Sept. 11) is National Grandparents Day. Don’t miss this opportunity to tell your grandparents how thankful you are for all they’ve done for you. For those who have lost their grandparents, take the time to remember them or take flowers to the cemetery. Let them know just how much you love them.
