\u201dSurely, two of the most satisfying experiences in life must be those of being a grandchild or a grandparent.\u201d \u2013Donald A Norberg<\/p>\n

I have had the incredible blessing of being a well-loved grandchild, and I have had the pure joy of being a grandmother.\u00a0 Both bring a smile to my face from ear to ear and memories that no one can take away.\u00a0 My sisters and I relive times spent on the farm with our grandparents through our conversation almost every time we get together. My grandparents taught us new things, played with us, valued our new songs and skills, and let us do things we weren\u2019t allowed to do at home. What memories do you have?\u00a0 What lessons and new adventures did you experience with your grandparents? What value to your life do you attribute to that relationship? \u00a0Now that I\u2019ve had a few years experiencing being a grandma, I\u2019m trying to carry on the legacy that I so richly received by making the moments count with my grandchildren.\u00a0 I strive to create those memories they will talk about for years to come.\u00a0 You can too\u2014make those precious moments count!<\/p>\n

Today, we celebrate Grandparents!\u00a0 If you\u2019re fortunate to have one or more living grandparents, let them know of your love for them in a special way\u2014phone call, note or card, visit, etc. Think of a list of questions to ask to know more about their childhood such as \u2013Who were your friends?; What were the trends in clothes?; Can you tell me about your siblings?\u00a0 A grandparent loves sharing this information with you and they are thrilled you are interested.\u00a0 You will, no doubt, hear some funny facts that will teach you another side of that grandparent that you never knew.\u00a0 If you have faced the loss of your grandparents, take the time today to go down memory lane and share a great memory with a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrandparents are warm hugs and sweet memories.\u00a0 They remember all of your accomplishments and forget all your mistakes.\u201d \u2013Unknown– We can\u2019t underestimate the value our grandparents bring to our lives.\u00a0 Celebrate them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
