The
history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in
the laughter and tears of their children and their children’s children.
It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that
their history becomes a future.

Although I, myself, never had children, one does not need to in order to understand the true significance of this deep quote. Thank you, Mary. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery true! We are the culmination of all our ancestors.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had known my grandparents. Or indeed any relatives other than immediate family.
ReplyDeleteI was my grandparents often because there was no one to take care of me. I had 2 aunts and 1 uncle on mom's side. We only saw them at Christmas. Very cold family. Never knew anyone on my dad's side because mom didn't want any part of them. Sadly my grandparents on his side had passed. I did meet one cousin and correspond of FB with another.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quote!!
ReplyDeleteVery true! Unfortunately, I really didn't know any of my grandparents, except for my mother's dad! Big Hugs!
