About 1 billion people in the world today are grandparents. Because humans are living longer, we are spending more time in the grandparenting role compared to past generations. As a result, more and more people are embracing the silver age of wisdom and the perks that come with it.
So as a tribute to all those perfectly fluffy apple pies only grandmas know how to make, and to these seriously useful handy skills you can only thank your grandpa for, Bored Panda has compiled this joyful list of wholesome grandparents.
From grandparents meeting their newborn grandchild for the first time and crying their eyes out from happiness, to grandma knitting a rainbow sweater after her granddaughter came out as bi, this is the grandlove we all deserve in life.

Best Grandma
Dianne Dean 4 years ago
Long after my Mum forgot my name she still remembered that I belonged to her
Sarah Parker 4 years ago
This got me good. Wow. Alzheimer's and dementia are so cruel and it's genuinely heartbreaking to witness the decline in a person once these diseases take hold. My Grandad lost his battle with vascular dementia last year, during lockdown, in a care home, so we weren't allowed to visit with a carer by his side instead of family.

I believe in these terrible situations that they knew they were loved and cared for. He knew deep down in his heart that he loved you and you all loved him!

Great vest! I would wear it proudly on every party I join. I'm sure you are doing it too
For the first time in history, there are more elderly people in the world than young children, according to the United Nations. Their figures reveal that the number of over-65s surpassed that of under-fives at the end of 2018. There are now around 705 million people over 65 on the planet, while those aged 0-4 number about 680 million.
Paradoxically, even though more people than ever are turning into grandparents, aging is still largely considered taboo in Western society. The anti-aging market is soaring with P&S Intelligence calculating its revenue will be worth $421.4 Billion by 2030. Numbers are staggering, but they reveal so much more than that. What if the fear of getting old is so widespread it has become a sort of fuel for the consumer market of our century?

Most of them have, but they’re just too tired to act superior.

To find out more about why our society is so obsessed with youth, and what implications it has on ourselves, Bored Panda reached out to Meg Selig, a counselor, writer and book author who recently released a book “Silver Sparks: Thoughts on Growing Older, Wiser, and Happier.”
“The fear of getting old is so common that it even has its own acronym—FOGO, the Fear of Getting Old,” Meg said and continued: “A survey of Americans by the drug company Pfizer found that 87% of people have at least one fear about getting old. (I was surprised to find that 13% of people don’t have any anxiety about getting old.) 23% of Americans worry about decline in their physical ability, 15% worry about memory loss, 12% fear running out of money, and 12% are concerned about chronic illness. Only 10% of those surveyed say they fear dying.”

The look on his face! He's a certified hero and he is feeling the love in his heart that he displayed with such an unselfish act.
However, Meg also shared some reassuring information which is that “Worldwide surveys consistently show that the stereotypes of grumpy, unhappy, or decrepit older people are false.” She also added that numerous surveys and studies reveal that in fact, older people are happier people, despite the challenges that aging brings.
“One of my goals in writing my book on healthy aging, Silver Sparks: Thoughts on Growing Older, Wiser, and Happier, was to ease fears that younger people may have about aging,” she said and added that: “For the record, I am an incredibly happy older person at age 76—happier, in fact, than I have ever been. And most older people are healthy, too. Only 1-2% of 'olders' over 65 live in nursing homes.”

My granny was the best. Back in the 90s I was still at school and worked part-time at a supermarket. The boss there was a really mean woman, she would have made Stalin look like a nice person. She even made some of my colleagues cry and thankfully got fired a couple of years later. Anyway, I was just there for the summer but after two weeks I was ready to quit. I told my gran and so she came over a couple of times a week, took a huge shopping cart, looked out for the boss, followed her and always "accidentally" hit heels or toes or bum with the shopping cart. Or she asked her something and then loudly demanded to speak to someone with a little more competence. I always had to walk away very quickly so I wouldn't burst out laughing. 😂

Heartwarming
Crochet lady 4 years ago
There was an old man (Mr, McD) who sat on his porch across the street from us everyday when I was 15-16 years old. We knew him to wave to before then but that was all. Turned out he has his leg amputated and could no longer do his carpentry work and his wife was a day drinker and she drove him crazy so he sat on the porch to get some peace and quiet. His wife didn't approve of this young black girl coming to sit on her porch, she was a bit racist. But anyway, I started going over when I would see him, he was lovely to talk to, told me about serving in the war, about his kids & grandkids. I started going over everyday in the summer, would spend an hour or two with him, he seemed so lonely. I did this until we moved away when I was 18. I missed him so much. Never had grandparents of my own.

It's a very sweet and loving gesture but I've never thought to iron a flag or washing, really ,though I suppose it gets done every now and then. I think I am use to the idea that a flag gets dirty and tattered that it is retired and you get a new one. But I suppose that's a little more friendly 🤔🤗😁
The book author believes that no one of any age ought to let their age define who they are. “At the same time, I do think there are unique qualities about being older. Some of those qualities: the desire to leave a legacy; an emphasis on personal growth; the willingness to mentor and nurture the 'youngers'; the ability to appreciate the small moments of pleasure that life provides,” she explained.
“A few more words about pleasure: In Okinawa, Japan, people live longer than anywhere else in the world. They have cultivated the ability to find joy in the small things and have even given this ability a name—ikigai.” It turns out that researchers believe it is “ikigai” that accounts for the Okinawans’ longevity.

Super Cool Grandmother
When asked how aging affects or doesn't affect our personalities, Meg said that there is one factor that can affect a person’s satisfaction with aging, their daily happiness, and their longevity. “That factor is whether a person has a purpose in life. That purpose can be a so-called 'higher purpose' like helping others, volunteering, writing, creating a work of art, or contributing to the welfare of one’s family or community.”
The purpose can also be just enjoying the moment and having fun. “A former colleague said after he retired, 'If it isn’t fun, I don’t do it.' That was his purpose. It doesn’t matter what your purpose is as long as it gives you something to look forward to when you get up in the morning,” the author explained.

Meg also said that her work purpose is sharing information on healthy aging, happiness, and habits. “I do this through my 'Changepower' blog at psychologytoday.com, my books, and social media. Thanks to this mission, my personality has changed,” she revealed and added that “I am more confident, more focused, and a better communicator than when I was younger.”
Meg concluded that “personality changes are linked with your own decisions about how you want to spend your 'bonus years' of life. There's no one right answer—just the answer that works best for you.”

My grandmother (Busi) made a ruffled pinafore and pantaloons for my Little Miss Muffet act in my grade school musical review. I still have the pinafore. She was a seamstress who worked from home and could make her patterns out of newspaper, if needed. Priest vestments, costumes for local theater, wedding dresses - the memories are flooding now. Whenever I have to sew anything and call on her to channel through me.

This is one of my mom's favorite things to do for my niece. She has made her tons of dresses and costumes. I love this.

Went Out Fishing With My Grandpa This Evening And There Was This One Kid Who Had Some Sort Of Mental Handicap
About halfway through our fishing, his rod broke and there were several knots in his line. Not only did my grandpa completely fix his rod he untied the knots. Never been more proud of him.

Both the story of the raccoon and fawn's unexpected companionship and the observations on aging highlight unexpected connections and enduring bonds beyond our preconceived notions. As we see with animals forming such unique relationships, the resilience and adaptability we possess as humans can be quite inspiring too.
For more examples of enchanting interactions in the animal kingdom, you might enjoy exploring the tale of a raccoon who formed a delightful bond with a fawn in need.

Carol Emory 4 years ago
My MIL's Aunt had a horrible marriage for over 40 years. A man that constantly abused her. When he died, she was in her mid 70's. She met a man that treated her like a queen. He married her and the two of them were spending their first year of marriage jet setting around the world and taking cruises everywhere. She's never had so much fun. She deserves every minute of happiness.

The first time I played chess was with my dad, he won at first and I was mad. He said he would go easy next, and I insisted that he shouldn’t. We played again, and he figured me out pretty fast! I kept forgetting where each piece could move, and when I asked, he would start his finger on the piece, and move it to the square that would make me win.

Awesome Grandpa
Robin Roper 4 years ago
This is very cool. When did this happened? My dad at 94 and is one of the last remaining WWII Vet at 94 in the county where he lives. When he enlisted the war was still "on", but VJ day occurred while he was in basic training. To have been in the service in WWII, one would have had to be born not much later than 1926. My father was sent to Papua (New Guinea) where he worked to catalog and destroy equipment. My father-in-law landed in the first wave of men on Omaha Beach D-day. He fought through the end of the war and later participated i the Incheon Invasion and served as an "advisor" in Vietnam before we were officially there.

Next Door Grandpa
He is 95 years old, and is the sweetest, most caring person I've ever met. Though his wife has passed, and his kids and grandkids are grown, he never stops making an effort to love people. Andrew and I have gone out to dinner with him a number of times, and Earl always tells us he can be our "next door grandpa." I've never had a better neighbor. I hope to be half as giving, caring and amazing as him in my lifetime
