Love doesn’t fade away with time and grandparents are here to prove that to us. From a retired colonel who doesn’t mind getting dolled up by his granddaughter to a loving grandma who fell asleep on the floor next to her daughter’s newly adopted senior dog, the older generation has a beautiful lesson to teach.
Bright Side created a sweet display that shows just how truly wholesome grandparents can be.
1. “My great-grandma wears a necklace with my baby picture when she worries about me.”
2. “A 76-year-old retired Air Force colonel is no match for his 4-year-old granddaughter.”
3. “My grandpa has Alzheimer’s, so we custom made a shirt that has all his grandkids’ names. It’s his new favorite shirt.”
4. “My wife’s grandpa and our 1.5-year-old”
5. “My grandma watering me so I would grow (1991). Next month she’ll be 98.”
6. “We adopted a senior pup named Mikey yesterday and I think it’s safe to say that his first trip to Grandma’s went well.”
7. “My grandma holding me as a baby, and now at 93 years old holding my nephew in the same outfit.”
8. “My son (7) and my grandpa (77) go on a ride together at least once a week.”
9. “4 years after my grandmother died, my grandpa found love again and got married yesterday.”
10. “Grandpa slyly taking pictures of his wife without her realizing.”
11. “This rescue pupper keeps him young at heart.”
12. “Took our new pup to visit my boyfriend’s grandparents. I think it’s safe to say they like her!”
13. “My brother-in-law’s grandmother lifts her cat up to play with the ceiling fan strings since he can’t reach them from the chair.”
14. “My 89-year-old grandparents napping together after a late-night celebrating New Year’s Eve”
15. “My 96-year-old grandmother meeting her great-granddaughter for the first time. I can’t tell who’s happier.”
