Grandparents are meant for kisses and hugs,
For watching rainbows and catching bugs.
For baking all of your favorite things.
For books to read and songs to sing."

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in
your own house. Give love to your children, to
your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor...
Let no one ever come to you without leaving
better and happier. Be the living expression of
God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness
in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness
in your warm greeting."--Mother Theresa--

Grandparents Day
Just as we set aside special days to honor our
mothers and fathers, we honor our grandparents
also. Nowadays, the prefix grand means a relative
two generations older or younger. In speaking of
them as "grandparents", we give our parents'
parents a rank of special distinction, usually as
a sign of respect for their age.
Today, some grandparents live with their families,
and others choose to live in their own homes or
retirement villages. Wherever grandparents choose
to live, they have a special place in their family
and should be remembered often, especially on their
own special day.
In the year 1900 the average life span in the
United States was 47.3 years. A baby born in the
United States in 1985, however, can expect to live
74.7 years. Life expectancy was estimated in 1985
at 78.2 years for girls and 71.2 years for boys.
Now it is even greater. A large percentage of
people in the United States are living longer each
year. Some of them join organizations like the
American Association of Retired Persons to see
that their interests are protected. Others join
organizations that speak out for the causes of
older people, such as the Gray Panthers.
Today, many grandparents are raising their
grandchildren. This situation creates a new
family dynamics which I greatly respect and
admire!
In many cultures, the older members of a family
or community are highly respected and honored for
their age-proven wisdom.
"Age is a matter of feeling, not of years!"
