A relationship between a grandparent and a
grandchild is a sweet one.
It is pure and unconditional love.
Grandparents love their grandchildren long before they are born.
It all starts with hugging and kissing the babies, and doting over all the chubby fingers and toes.
They watch them grow, and keep track off all the numerous milestones they pass.
As they grow up they teach them numerous skills such as sandwich making, how to feed ducks, and talk to them about politics between holiday gatherings.....
Geography is of no concern to grandparents. They love whom they love and miles separating them makes no difference. Spending lots of time with the grand kids is preferred but it makes it all the sweeter when the time is shared.
And the love goes both ways.
In the end it is the quality of the relationship not the presents, the homemade cookies, or the amount of time at soccer games and band concerts.
It's about the pure and unconditional love.
