GRANDPARENTS DAY is a holiday celebrated in various countries.
In the United States, Marian McQuade is recognized as the founder of Grandparents Day. McQuade made it her goal to educate youth about the important contributions seniors have made throughout history. She also urged the youth to "adopt" a grandparent, not just for one day a year, but rather for a lifetime.
In 1977, Congress passed legislation proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents' Day and, in 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the proclamation.[3][4] The statute cites the day's purpose: "...to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.”
We wish all grandparents a blessed Grandparents Day on Sunday, Sept. 13!
