Back in April, I shared a post highlighting funny quotes for grandparents that proved to be quite popular. Today I decided to share more grandparent quotes, but this time on a more serious note.
I hope you’ll share these quotes with your residents. And remember that a grandparent and a grandchild aren’t always connected by DNA. A grandparent can be any older adult who opens their heart to a child.
