I posted a note on my grandmother last week and had so many great quotes I wanted to add more of them here … Enjoy!
The simplest toy, one which even the youngest child can operate, is called a grandparent. ~Sam Levenson
Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author Unknown
Uncles and aunts, and cousins, are all very well, and fathers and mothers are not to be despised; but a grandmother, at holiday time, is worth them all. ~Fanny Fern
Gram, Mom, and Me
The history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in the laughter and tears of their children and their children’s children. It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that their history becomes a future. ~Charles and Ann Morse
Four Generations
Grandparents are similar to a piece of string – handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren. ~Author Unknown
What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I’d like to say that grandparents are God’s gifts to children. And if they can but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill Cosby
As such is life.
Be blessed and in relationship,
Adam

We often show more patience to strangers than to the people we love. This reflection explores why we soften for outsiders, sharpen at home, and what our post-party honesty reveals about how we can bring more tenderness back to our closest relationships.
We all say we want to be better communicators. But maybe it starts with being better at assuming less. Letting go of the idea that we’re always being disrespected when someone doesn’t respond the way we expect. That’s hard work. It’s daily work. But it’s worth it.
