Having lost my maternal grandfather very recently, this Grandparents Day takes me down the memory lane, in ways like never before. Join me as I pay my homage to both my maternal grandparents, my Nanu and Nani, whom I shall continue to love and cherish forever.

These people. Grandparents. They are part of the family lineage. Today, if you are able, and if it feels safe and right for you to do so, I invite you to spend a moment honouring them…in whatever feels authentic to you.

If you do grandparenting well, you can become a safe and loving environment where these kids who are related to you by blood know that they are accepted and safe within your house and your presence.
