September 3: Labor Day, September 9: Grandparent’s Day. Fun Facts About Grandparent’s Day: National Grandparents Day is September 9th and grandparents all over the world are being honored and celebrated. Grandchildren all over the country take this day as an opportunity to let their grandparents know how much they love them. School children have been preparing for this day by making gifts for their grandparents and learning the official song. Many are excited for a whole day to spend having fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

The official statute says the purpose of Grandparents Day is, “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.” This day is a wonderful reminder of the significance grandparents have in our lives.

More Facts about Grandparents: More than half the grandparents in the United States are baby boomers. Samuel S. Mast of Pennsylvania holds the record for having the most living descendants. He passed away in 1992, but he fathered 11 children, 97 grandchildren, 634 great-grandchildren and 82 great-great-grandchildren. That’s a big family!

Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey were raised by their grandparents. Talk about good influences! Many celebrities have become grandparents at a young age. Loretta Lynn became a grandparent at age 29 and CeeLo Green at age 35. Of the twenty women in the state senate, half of them are grandmothers.

Grandparents are becoming more tech savvy; more than half are on social media sites and share photos online. More than half of grandparents play video games with their grandchildren. Now the kids are the teachers! Slightly more than 10% grandparents have tattoos. Can you imagine what this number will be when the twenty-somethings of today are grandparents?

Celebrate Grandparents: They have worked their whole lives to make a better place for their families and carry on their legacy. They are an inspiration for us all. Cherish every moment spent with grandparents and take advantage of the wisdom they have to offer you. Do something grand for a grandparent today to show your appreciation. Grandparents should not only be honored and celebrated today, but every day.
