Today I am thankful for grandparents. The grandparent-grandchild relationship is a special one that leaves a lifetime of warm memories. I miss my grandparents so much, but I was fortunate to have 2 of them around into adulthood. My children are lucky enough to still have 4 grandparents and a great grandma in their lives. That is a lot of love. Thank you to all of the grandparents for loving their grandchildren unconditionally and being in their lives.
