Grandparents

Being a grandparent is the bomb! My granddaughter is a year old now and I have another one on the way. I thought I'd dedicate a thread to being a grandparent. I know I am one of the only oldies out here...but feel free to leave thoughts and special memories about your grandparents here.

My dad's parents have both been gone quite a while...but, we spent a lot of time with them when we were kids. It was always a lot of fun and I have lots of great memories from my time with them.

My mom's parents are in their nineties and still alive...so my kids have been able to enjoy them too. That's super cool isn't it!
