Good for you! When you become a grandmother…in the FAR disant future…you will realize how much that visit meant to your grandparents. I’m sure they love you very much.

I took your advice and visited my grandparents last weekend. I must have been there for about 4 hours. I’d forgotten how much fun they were. It was amusing to see the banter between them. My grandma spent a majority of the time catching me up on family gossip and nagging my grandpa about a fly in the house.

Grandparents are usually very understanding and know you have to move on and develop your own lives. I very much miss my two grandchildren who stayed with us a lot while growing up, but I know they have to live their own lives.
If your grandparents aren’t too far away, visit them when you can, or call regularly. It will mean a lot. If they email, write to them. I’m sure they miss those times with you, too.

What a touching post. Some of my fondest memories are of the time I lived with my grandma as a teenager. Witnessing the banter between her and my grandpa and hearing their stories was something I always enjoyed. Sadly, eventually I moved out and forgot about my grandparents for a while. It’s now that I’m older that I really miss those times, especially since I know that my grandma’s health isn’t very good.
