Sweet Wording for Grandmother or Grandfather - Best Sayings about Grandparents!
Grandparents are special. They do so much for the family and are such an inspiration. Scrapbooks are a wonderful way to save memories of these dear family members. Many people create memory books for grandparents, full of memories of their lives. Quotes make lovely additions to a memory scrapbook. What a charming gift!
Whatever your plans for these loving words, I hope they bring you fond thoughts, a smile, a touching memory.
My grandparents have all passed away, but the memory of each of them lives on in my heart, in pictures and in letters. It is rare when a day goes by without me thinking of something one of my grandparents taught me or shared with me.
Remember to show your love and appreciation to your grandmother and grandfather as often as possible, if you can. They are, indeed, one of the greatest treasures of life.
Grandma Moses (artist) quote: "And life is what we make it. Always has been. Always will be."
Contents at a Glance
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.

The Value of a Good Quote
A Fondness for the Written Word

My grandfather was fond of quotes, and of words in general. He had many poems and quotations memorized, that he would often share with others. As a grandchild lucky enough to live close enough to see him a few times a year, this fondness of words rubbed off on me. I am writer (and webmaster) and have affection for and interest in good quotes.
My children, too, have caught the bug. They frequently quote from great old movies and are avid readers of good books. My daughter has notebooks filled with wording she enjoys and my son often stops me to read an especially good passage from a Redwall or other well-written volume. Clever comic strips are taped up on the refrigerator (hey, we're not snobby about our quotes).
Sharing quotes with others is a passion of mine (and probably one of yours, if you are here). Simple words can make a big impact. You never know how a quote might change someone's thinking just a touch or cause someone to have an epiphany. I hope you enjoy the fine words on these and my other quote pages.

"My grandpa didn't believe in hugging and kissing, or saying "I love you."
His love had to do with the way he treated you.
When he said, "We're going here, we're going there," he was telling me about life.
That was his love for me.
My love for him was listening to what he said, keeping out of trouble, doing right, being fair."
- Bill Cosby
