Grandparents Day is the first Sunday after Labor Day. The campaign to set aside a special day for honoring grandparents was headed by Marian McQuade of Fayette County, West Virginia. In 1973, a statewide campaign began in West Virginia and the first Grandparents Day was set by Governor Arch Moore. Grandparents Day is observed by thousands throughtout America today.
Some families enjoy small gatherings while others have a large family reunion.
Children should know the ancestral line of his parents, thus keeping a family tree is very important. Close knit families are becoming a thing of the past, so it is impotant to preserve special family talents such as cooking and quilting, old family music, and ethnic or religious beliefs. My grandparents have all died. I cherish the memories of them when I was growing up. Grandparents spoil you and let you get away with more than parents do.
