In 2009, Grandparents' Day falls on September 13. Marian McQuade (1917-2008) championed the idea. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter declared the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents' Day.
I always remember my grandparents because the helped Mom raise us. I have two brothers and one sister. My mother has (I think) ten grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Mom and I are going to celebrate, but I don't know what we're going to do. I'll have to check the local events to see what's going on locally.
