By Annie Lisenby Smith Grandparents Day
VIVIE WILLIAMS, AGE 6: LOLA WILLIAMS, AGE 9: “I love my grandparents because I get to do fun things with them!”
HUNTER GILMORE, AGE 12: “I love my grandparents because they care about me. They love me.”
There are so many things to be said about grandparents and how they make our lives better. They nurture us, they feed us; they pass on family traditions and history. Fred Rogers described the bond with grandparents best: “Grandparents can be very special resources. Just being close to them reassures a child, without words, about change and continuity, about what went before and what will come after.”
September 12, 2021, is Grandparents Day, and some local children wanted to share their artwork celebrating their grandparents.
STELLA GILMORE, AGE 3: “I love Grandma Linda because she buys me pretty things!”
RUBY WILLIAMS, AGE 3: “They make me laugh!”
BROCK GILMORE, AGE 9: “I love Memaw and Papaw Mahan because they give me peanut butter and coffee milk.”
BRAXTON GILMORE, AGE 11: “I love Grandma and Grandpa King because they take me to do fun things and love me so very much.” JASON CARR, AGE 6: “I love them because they do nice stuff with us. They take us to fun places like Silver Dollar City and took me to ride my first go-kart. I love my grandparents because we watch movies together and eat popcorn.”
