“To become a grandparent is to enjoy one of the few pleasures in life for which the consequences have already been paid.”
― Robert Brault

Your task as a parent doesn’t really end when your children leave home and start a family of their own. It’s then that life gives you a grander title―that of being a grandparent. Considered to be a step higher than that of the child’s parents, you take on the role of mediator, confidante, and most-trusted friend. Being a grandparent is one task that is filled with love, light moments of laughter, and another chance to relive the good old days of childhood.

It is amazing to see grandparents and grandchildren form strong bonds despite the age difference between them. What’s truly beautiful about this relationship is that it doesn’t matter if the grandchild is a tiny little babe in the cradle or a mature individual, for the grandparent, he/she remains the cherished apple of his/her eye. Needless to say, the feelings are reciprocated by the grandchildren who tend to value, love, and cherish the relationship they share with their grandparents.

From Grandparents to Grandchildren

When Emotions Flow …

You are the child of my child,
and your life is a joy to me.
I am grateful to have you in my life.
As I watch through the generations,
I am reminded that the bonds we form
Are as everlasting as the spirit. ― Author Unknown

Child of my child, heart of my heart.
Your smile bridges the years between us…
I am young again, discovering the world through your eyes.
You have the time to listen and I have the time to spend,
Delighted to gaze at familiar, loved features made new in you again.
Through you, I see the future. Through me, you’ll see the past.
In the present, we’ll love one another as long as these moments last. ― Author Unknown

And the hope of dreams come true…

From which this love began…
There is so much found in the touch
Of holding a grandchild’s hand. ― Author Unknown

God made grandsons…
God blended a pinch of mischief with two parts of love and joy; He added a special sparkle to each special boy. God made grandsons to keep us energetic, and always on our toes.

God made granddaughters…
God made granddaughters to give our lives variety, and to keep our hearts young. God draped each morning with sunshine, and sprinkled each night with song.
