“Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.” Alex Haley.
Grandparents are like guardian angels sent to watch over our children. Parents look to their parents for love and guidance. They are angels sent to give our children unconditional love. The love of a grandparent is pure and sweet.
A national holiday was created to give thanks to all the wonderful things they have done for us. Grandparents are often left out in the cold when it comes to holiday celebrations. But that has now changed.
