I loved reading this. Brought a smile to my face 🙂 My kids are still little but I can see every bit of what you wrote in how my mum relates with my kids. Absolute joy at being Grandma x

Being a grandparent is wonderful! I love it for the same reasons and more! We have 21 and are blessed to have them all near us. The thing I love is hearing them yell Grandma and then having them run to me with open arms. And yes, it is adventurous and fun!

I’m a grandparent through marriage–my son’s fiance has a daughter who came into our lives when she was 4. She’s smart and funny and beautiful and we love her with our whole hearts. We do not believe in calling her our step-granddaughter even though that’s what she is by law. She’s our granddaughter. And I’m loving every minute of it. Unfortunately, they live three hours away, so we don’t get to see them as much as we’d like. I agree with everything you’ve written, especially watching the way my son has stepped into this role of caring for his family. <3

I’m finding myself a bit envious of all the in-person time you have with your granddaughters, Lisa! I want to experience some of these things that you mention with my own grandson (and as of yesterday, new grandson! Yippee!). But they are miles and miles away. Maybe God will bring us closer one day, but for now, I’ll rejoice with you in your wonderful grandmother moments shared here! And I do so love Deborah’s grandmotherly wisdom! Thanks for sharing!

Lisa,
I’m not yet a grandparent…looks like you are soaking in every wide-eyed moment of this precious time!
Blessings,

Being a grandparent is amazing. So much perspective and wisdom to share, and I think the grandchildren keep us young. We facetime a lot my granddaughter and I, and she and I did this gesture when she was about 6-7months old; to this day anytime she hears my voice, she does the gesture with a smile. Makes me so happy and I realize once more that these children are smart.

Anyhow there are tons of reasons why I enjoy being a grandparent.

I was agreeing with everything you said. Five great reasons. Nodding my head to each one. I have two.

My grandmother used to wear polyester pants with creases sewn in. For years, that’s what I associated with being a grandmother. Luckily, they are no longer required!

I always heard how wonderful this role is, but my imagination didn’t do it justice. This chapter of life as a Nana is a huge deligh–for all the reasons you mentioned. I can’t imagine your grandchildren will remember you as old, Lisa. Look at that face, glowing with health, and that cute, hip hair-do!
