National Grandparents Day
To all my family and friends who are Grandparents, I wish you a wonderful day!
Date
When: the first Sunday after Labor
Day
It
is only right and fitting that one day of the year is set aside to honor our
grandparents. It is time to celebrate those special people who are always there
with a hug, a kiss, a cookie, something special, or take us somewhere.
National
Grandparent's Day originated in 1978. Then President Jimmy Carter declared it to
be the first Sunday after Labor Day.
If
you can, enjoy the day with them. That is the greatest gift they can receive
from you. If you can't see them, call them, or skype. When you call, make sure
you have the time for a long conversation. Remember, grandparents will always
ask about you first and listen intently to everything you have to say. They are
never rushed or in a hurry. They are there just for
you.
