Grandparent’s Day is Sunday, September 13^th.  While some may view this as “just another greeting card holiday”, I prefer to see it as another day I can tell my Grandma how much she means to me.

I consider myself very lucky.  We recently celebrated Grandma’s 90^th birthday.  She still has her memory and she gets around pretty well. I LOVE to brag about her, just ask my co-workers.

The best thing about my Grandma is the smile she brings to my face.  We enjoy going out to lunch.  We have been doing that since I was 9 years old and it is just as much fun now as it was back then.  Growing up with 3 younger brothers, it was nice to get away and go to lunch with Grandma.  We would be gone for hours having lunch and shopping. Those are some of my favorite memories. No matter where we went or what we did, we always had fun.

I still try to go up and visit her when I can, although it is not as often as either one of us would like.  We sit and talk, and yes, still go out to lunch.

So, this Sunday, reach out to the special people in your life, even if you have to buy a greeting card.
