Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!
By Emily Francos — Written on May 08, 2022
When you're preparing for Mother’s Day, remember to recognize your grandmother, too! She's a strong woman who is there for her grandchildren no matter what, and these Happy Mother's Day grandma quotes prove just that.
A grandmother's love is unconditional. She gets to spoil her grandchildren, which all grandmas love to do, and give them experiences they wouldn’t otherwise have. Grandmas make sure you're shooting for the stars and are the best you can be.
Being a grandma is special because she gets to be more than just a parent. There are things grandmas can do with grandchildren that they can't do with their own children, making it quite a special bond. A grandma holds her grandchildren's best interest in her heart, and her love holds no bounds.
This year, take a minute to wish her the best by sending one of these Happy Mother's Day quotes for grandma. Make sure she knows how much she means to you and do something extra special for her — because she's always doing something for you.
Over this past year, life has been tough for grandmothers all around the world — many still haven't left their homes due to the pandemic and have spent far too long being alone. So make this year's Mother's day count and celebrate grandma in a way she'll never forget.
Celebrate Grandma with a Mother's Day card (or a sweet text if she's tech-savvy). If you're stumped on what to write in your Mother's Day card for grandma, you want something more than just something cliché; maybe talk about how she's influenced you or reminisce about the good times.
And if your grandmother is no longer here, show your love for her by leaving flowers on her resting place, sending floating sky lanterns into the sky, or saying a prayer for her peace. You can even write a tribute that describes all her personal accomplishments, including you.
