Global Grandparents Day

In 1978, President Jimmy Carter officially designated the first Sunday following Labor Day as National Grandparents' Day in the United States. This special day is celebrated not just in America but across the globe, serving as a heartfelt tribute to the invaluable role that grandparents play in our lives. They offer us an abundance of joy, love, and wisdom, asking for nothing in return. Scientific research further underscores the importance of this unique bond, revealing that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren contributes to longer life expectancy, reduced rates of depression, and healthier emotional development for both parties.

Grandparents serve as a space of warmth and kindness for their grandchildren. They are not just relatives but also mentors, historians, and even friends. In their presence, children find not only treats and sweets but also valuable life lessons and a sense of continuity. 
If you still have your grandparents, take this day to spend quality time, make new memories and say thank you for the unconditional love and support they provide. For those who have lost their grandparents, their absence is deeply felt, so is the wisdom and love they shared as they continue to live on in our hearts.
