Review – The 50 best quotes about grandparenting – a Grandparents Day tribute
As a tribute to Grandparents Day, a good friend researched the 50 best quotes about grandparenting. She wrote a wonderful article that you’ve got to read! It is a very thorough and well researched piece of work — great quotes, delightful photos, useful links to grandparenting sites and blogs.
The author is a gifted writer whose pen name is Write-On! But I think her favorite name is Nana. She and her husband have 7 grandchildren, with one on the way. I think they are trying to catch up with Grammy Tanda and me, but we’re still “ahead by a nose”! 
Two of my favorite grandparent quotes from her article…
Surely, two of the most satisfying experiences in life must be those of being a grandchild or a grandparent. ~Donald A. Norber
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
Two other wonderful quotes about being a grandparent…
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani
(This describes Grammy Tanda perfectly.)
One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. ~Joy Hargrove
And my favorite quote is from the Bible…
Grandchildren are the crowning glory of grandparents. ~Proverbs 17:6
About National Grandparents Day…
According to Wikipedia and Grandparents-Day.com, Grandparents Day is a United States secular holiday, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Marian H. McQuade is recognized as the founder Grandparents Day, and the first national Grandparent’s Day was celebrated in 1978.

Great Review, I read Nana’s article I think you have done a great job of letting people know and understand how GOOD this article really is !
We might be moving (somewhat far away from my parents) and my dad is feeling all sentimental about it. Today he was holding my son on his lap visiting with him and he gets all wistful and looks at me and says “Little boys need their Grandpas!”
That’s my favorite grandparent quote by Grandpa Stan

@Clint, Jodi, Kathryn: Thank you for the nice comments!
For you parents: Remember to have your children call or visit their grandparents today! They don’t want a present, only the presence of their grandchildren.
For you grandparents: In case they don’t remember, it’s alright for you to call your grandkids.
