Dad-O-matic: National GrandParents Day!

  • Anthony Russo · 3 months ago
    I remember when this came out and I was a young boy. My grandfather told me at the time this was a 'Hallmark' holiday. A holiday created just to sell more greeting cards. From that day on I made cards for him for this day instead.

    I miss him greatly. Happy belated Grandparents day Grandpa and Grandma! (Don't worry Grandpa, this didn't cost me anything.)

    This was wonderful :-) thank you for sharing. On National Grandparents Day, Sunday September 13th, Grandchild Connection was launched. Grandchild Connection is a service that strengthens the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandchild Connection allows distant grandparents and grandchildren to develop close, meaningful relationships by utilizing today's technology of video conferencing. As part of the "VideoVisit" experience, we coach grandparents in educational and social activities that enhance the bonds they share with their grandchildren, and we provide the tools to achieve that end. We have launched our website today, National Grandparents Day, September 13th, 2009Come visit us @ grandchildconnection.com

    Hi --

    My name is Allison Gilbert and I am a mom in NY. Am I allowed to leave a post here? :)

    I was so happy to read your comments about Grandparents Day. A bunch of parents I am connected with celebrated the holiday by doing something a little different -- We honored the grandparents our children no longer have in their lives. My mom and dad passed away several years ago -- but I still try to provide opportunities for my kids (7 & 9) to try to know them...

    Thanks again for your post.

    Best,
    Allison
