If you havent wished your grand parents yet.. Find some time today and wish them Grand Parents Day ! Grandparents are a society and a family's ties to its past as they pass on important values, beliefs and ideals to future generations.

If it doesn't work out and if you are staying away, Grandparents Day is a great excuse for you to phone them, text them, FaceTime or Skype with them, or even write them an old-fashioned letter. Remeber them, Pray for them !!
