Happy National Grandparents Day to all you grandparents who WON’T be wished a Happy National Grandparents Day by your own grandchildren. We feel your pain.
Traditionally, National Grandparents Day has been observed since recognition by President Jimmy Carter in 1978 as the first Sunday after Labor Day. That is, if it’s remembered at all.
I can say that because, heck, I don’t recall ever wishing my own grandparents, or at least my surviving grandmother, a Happy National Grandparents Day and she was with us for 21 years after it’s official recognition.
So, to all of you unremembered grandparents out there I say, Happy National Grandparents Day!
