There seems to be a day for Everything nowadays! From Sweetest Day to Groundhogs day to yes, Grandparent's Day. The purpose of this day as stated in the statute is "...to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information and guidance older people can offer." The actual proclamation for Grandparent's Day was signed by Jimmy Carter in 1978. (I was 3 years old).
There is so much we can learn from our elders. I love nothing more than listening to stories (life stories) of my older clients. I have a client whom is in her 90's and is an absolute delight to talk with every time I see her. Such a life she has lived and seen. Just imagine the things she has done..it's astounding!
So, the question for you is, "How do you honor your grandparents on this day?" My grandmother lives in Wyoming, so it's not easy to take her to lunch and pamper her. But, I can send her flowers! So can you! If your grandparents are out of town or even in Seattle, we can make sure they get a beautiful bouquet of flowers from you, reminding them of how much they mean to you. I know, without a doubt, that flowers are a great way to make someone feel special!
Just give me a call: 206-325-5068 or order online. I'd love to hear from you and make sure your grandma, grandpa, nana, papa, oma or opa gets a great gift from you and know how much love you have for them.
