These Sweet Grandparent's Day Quotes Are Everything You Want To Say

Grandparents are often more than just close relatives: they can act as a friend and even as a second mother or father. Spending time with them gives you that feeling of childhood warmth and innocence no matter how old you are. In other words, they’re really, really special. That’s exactly why you don’t want to miss out on National Grandparents Day. While the holiday may not garner as much attention as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, it’s still the perfect opportunity to shower your grandparents with love in the form of gifts and extended visits. The absolute least you can do for them is to buy them a nice card, and use a heartwarming quote for National Grandparents Day inside of it to show them how much you care. Or even just use a quote in a social media post dedicated to them.

Sharing some sentimental and sweet quotes about grandparents might only take you a few moments, but it’s something that could end up meaning the world to your grandparents. If they go out of their way to make you feel like one of the most special people in the world, then they deserve a moment to feel that way too. You can opt for something sappy that might just bring tears to their eyes (and yours) or you can go for something more funny that will give them a good laugh. This year, acknowledge National Grandparents Day by using one of these grandparent quotes for a card or an Instagram post to celebrate your grandparents (or your children’s grandparents).
