They don't make them like those anymore, it's not a commentary on the current grandparents but genuine appreciation of the olden generation. My maternal grandmother for example, if fortitude and courage and stamina and never die spirit are to be given another name it could be her. Raising six children single handedly since grandfather was a school teacher and was away from home all day teaching and taking tutions to eke out a living having been displaced from now what is Pakistan was no mean job, yet she not only managed to do it but she got a house made overseeing all things herself. How she handled us grandchildren should be experienced as it's hard to explain her loving strictness and pleasing us by giving tit bit surprises which she kept locked up in her cupboard to be given only when she had made us pound her aching legs with our fists. An amazing woman she was. Good morning writers!! Today, 11th September, is the National Grandparents' Day wherein we celebrate our grandpas and grandmas. This day acknowledges their unique contribution in their grandchildren 's lives, making us appreciate the bond between them and the grandchild. We all have a soft corner for our "oldest friends" and spending time with them is a constant joy, is it not? Collab with Democrats & Dissenters on this #blankbg and write a poem, letter or a musing in their honour :) #dndgrandparentsday #yqbaba #yqdnd #grandparents #love
