Write a story or poem of 5 Lines or Less using the word grandparent
I rang my dad just at midnight to tell him about his new grandson.
It wasn’t his first as a grandparent but he was alone, and I wanted to share my news after a very long night.
He saw his grandkids grow up and begin their own families and thrilled him a lot.
He had a certain magic for his grandchildren, and we often remarked how when they came around they flocked to his side.
To me, he was the perfect grandfather, and I wish I could be as he was.

Beautiful
Thank you willow.
😊
Being a grandparent is the best!
Yes I agree Lyn
This is lovely, Michael. Nothing can replace grandparents in a child’s life.
Thanks Robbie I totally agree
Lovely Michael. I am only a grandparent by proxy as all of my foster girls have become mothers now. 🙂
If you are treated as a grandmother then you more than qualify I think….I had one of mine for dinner last night and he is as finnicky as his dad was at the same age, 4. Another is dropping by this afternoon.
Sadly I haven’t met any of them as my fostering days ended way back in 1987. I have great nephews and nieces I haven’t met either, and my great great nephew (my great niece’s son) will be four on Christmas day.
Grandparents are important in our lives. I was young when my grandfathers died. Still, I remember them with smiles and a heart that beats because of them. Thanks for sharing your story.
My pleasure, see you next week..
Great!
There is a bittersweetness here. You celebrate what was, even though he is now alone. You celebrate his magic, too, even though you use “was”. I love this. It took me to my Grampy. Thank you.
