Grandparents

I was one of the lucky ones in life. When I came into this world I had more grandparents then most ever dream of. I met them, spent time with them and even have memories of them. My kids were as lucky as me. I am always telling them how special it is that they have such a good relationship with their great-grandma and grandpa. Today I was reminded how lucky I am to still have my grandma and grandpa.


My grandma wanted someone to run her around town today. Since I wasn't working this afternoon, I took her. We went everywhere she needed and treated ourselves to coffee. We weren't gone to long, but it was nice to have time with just grandma. She told me more then once how much she enjoyed going with me.


This afternoon was a great reminder of how lucky I am. To be my age and still spend quality time with my grandparents.


Today I am thankful for my grandparents. All of them. They are all wonderful people who I admire.

    Thank you for sharing, Allison. How wonderful for you to have experienced the blessing of grandparents! I've always wondered what the world would be without grandparents. The love, advice, and life experience they share is beyond words.

    You are very lucky. It is so great that you realize this. I love how you share how thankful you are. I was lucky enough to get to know most of my grandparents. Unfortunately, I did not get to spend enough time with my grandpa. My parents have shared stories with me to keep me reminded of the time I did get to spend with him.
