Grandparents are for

Grandparents are for lots of love and more love and even more love.Grandparents are for tickling and cookies and playing outside for long periods of time and letting the grandkiddo get dirt all over the porch and wearing dresses Grammy made.
Grandparents are for dancing around the living room and running around the hallways and jumping on PawPaw (over and over and over) and climbing on PawPaw and sneaking up on PawPaw and and jumping again on PawPaw.Grandparents are for swimming with Grammyand making playdoh farms and barns and learning where you get your smarts and looks and funnies. (PawPaw taught Bella she got her smarts from him. Her looks came from Grammy!)
Grandparents are for eating cheese and crackers and cookies and peanut butter and PawPaw's food.
Grandparents are for opening up their homes when you don't have a home anymore and letting you relax while they take care of the kids and feeding their adult children and two grandchildren with great food and letting their kids store most of their stuff to move.
Grandparents most of all are for embracing their children and grandchildren with love and comfort and support. Thanks for the ever-present love and always-open home!
