On Being a Grandma

Written by: Sonya 6/15/2006 12:52:22 PM
I havebeen a merry widow for six years, mainly because of my grandchildren. I am in my early 60s and have no desire for any more relationships. For you wonderful grandmas, great-grandmas and grandmas- to-be, here are some sayings my friends and I have collected over the years that reflect the joys and realities of this wonderful gift:

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and
they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Welsh Proverb

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.
~Gore Vidal

Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Ogden Nash

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.
~Marcy DeMaree

Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you
all day and now the day was complete. ~Lois Wyse

Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old. ~Proverb

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to
your grandmother. ~Dave Barry

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Joy Hargrove

Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short
on criticism and long on love. Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting.

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string -- handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren.

Grandmothers are just antique little girls.

It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one.

A grandparent is old on the outside but young on the inside.

Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies.

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever.
