Whether you call them Nana and Papa or Meme and Pepaw, it is time to recognize your grandparents. The second Sunday in September has been proclaimed as National Grandparent’s Day since 1978. Sunday September 9, 2018 is day to celebrate and honor grandparents for their contributions and love. The number of grandparents continues to grow and so does the impact they have on the lives of their grandchildren and their communities.
“The elders of each family have the responsibility for setting the moral tone for the family and for passing on the traditional values of our Nation to their children and grandchildren. They bore the hardships and made the sacrifices that produced much of the progress and comfort we enjoy today.” (Jimmy Carter, President of the United States of America, Proclamation 4580 – National Grandparents Day, 1978 August 3, 1978).
Grandparent names include Gramms and Gramps, Lolli and Pop, Baba and Gigi, just to name a few.
