I'm thankful that I can still spend time with my grandparents

At 31 years old, I'm thankful that my grandparents are still alive and I'm still able to spend time with them, an opportunity that not everyone still has at my age — and that some people never have at any age.

My maternal grandparents are in their early 90s; my paternal grandparents are in their 80s; and my maternal grandfather's second wife, who is an extra grandmother to me, is in her 60s.

While I get to see my maternal grandmother every day (because we live together along with my mother), typically, the only reason I ever venture out of Florida is to go visit my other grandparents and my father.

While my paternal great-grandmother is no longer living, I remember her fondly, and I still love her. Some of her beautiful original paintings will soon be hanging on the walls of my new home.

So if you have any grandparents who are still living, consider giving them a call or, better yet, going to visit them soon and telling them that you love them and that you are grateful to spend time with them.
