GRANDPARENTING POSTERS

A mother becomes a true GRANDMOTHER the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do, because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her GRANDCHILDREN do. ~ Lois Wyse

The only thing better than having you for PARENTS is my children having you for GRANDPARENTS

(A thankful son)

What children

need most are

the essentials that

GRANDPARENTS

provide in abundance.

They give

unconditional love,

kindness, patience,

humour, comfort,

lessons in life, and

most importantly,

cookies.

~Rudolph Giuliani

Because GRANDPARENTS

are free to love and

guide and befriend

the young without

having to take daily

responsibility for

them, they can often

reach out past pride

and fear of failure

to close the space

between the

generations.

~Jimmy Carter

The nearest thing

to the love of God

is

the love of

GRANDPARENTS

To see yourself

and your kids

in

GRANDCHILDREN

. . .

isn’t it wonderful!

GRANDPARENTS

never run out of

hugs,

kisses,

cookies

and ice-cream.

A GRANDPARENT’s

love is

strong and deep,

filled with memories

to cherish

and keep.

What a bargain GRANDCHILDREN

are!

I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars’

worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Perfect love sometimes

does not come until the first

GRANDCHILD. ~Welsh Proverb

GRANDCHILDREN don’t stay young forever, which is good because PAPAS have only so many horsey rides in them. ~ Gene Perret

GRANDMA always

made you feel

she had been waiting

to see just you

all day

and now the day

was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree

GRANDCHILDREN

are the dots

that connect

the lines from

generation to

generation. ~Lois Wyse

Everyone needs

to have access

both to

GRANDPARENTS

and

GRANDCHILDREN

in order to be

a full human

being. ~Margaret Mead

Few things are more delightful

than GRANDCHILDREN

fighting over your lap.

~ Doug Larson

The simplest toy,

one which

even the youngest

child

can operate,

is called a

GRANDPARENT. ~Sam Levenson

One of the most powerful

handclasps is that of a new GRANDBABY

around the finger of a

GRANDFATHER ~ Joy Hargrove

Every generation

revolts

against its fathers

and makes friends

with its

GRANDFATHERS. ~ Lewis Mumford

It’s amazing how GRANDPARENTS seem so young once you become one.

You’ve got to do

your own growing, no matter how tall your GRANDFATHER was. ~ Irish Saying

GRANDCHILDREN are God’s way

of compensating us

for growing old. ~ Mary H. Waldrip

You do not really

understand

something

unless

you can explain it

to your

GRANDMOTHER.

~ Proverb

Just about the time

a woman thinks

her work is done,

she becomes a

GRANDMOTHER.

A man begins to show his age at

about the same time he begins to show

pictures of his GRANDCHILDREN
