50 Times Grandparents Were So Wholesome, They Restored People’s Faith In Humanity
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.

My Grandma Can't Protest On The Streets, But She Still Wants To Show Her Solidarity And Support
JuJu 5 years ago
Grandmas are one of the most precious and wonderful things in the world. They lived through some tough times and know their s**t. My gran is much more tolerant, feministic, anti-racist and anti-fascistic than my mother. She has seen nazis and segregation, she had lost almost everything on the flight and been treated poorly by men. She would never want any of this for the next generation.

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
GeneralZod 5 years ago
I had "next door" grandparents growing up. Some of my best memories are sitting on our shared porch drinking lemonade, eating cookies and listening to him to yell at the neighbor kids to stay off his lawn.

I had the best grandparents. The last one passed away in 2004. I think I miss them more as I get older.

I lost all four of mine with a two year period. It still bothers me. I could only attend one of the four funerals and it eats away at me sometimes that I didn't say goodbye (I never talk about them even writing this comment has been very hard)

No I can't handle this 😭 I'm lucky enough to still have a set of grandparents (just chatted with my oma on skype) but I haven't been able to see them in person since 2019. I just can't wait to get on a plane for 10 hours just so I can hug them again🧡.

Hug them extra tight for those of us who can't see ours any more, when you see them again ❤
