Grandparents are those who
Kill em with kindness
Love when love is lost
Hug when the days seem to be drowned with bad
Kiss when kisses are all that's left.

Grandparents are a phone call away
To keep touch
To tell silly stories
To break long lasting silence
To offer advice
To listen.

Grandparents are family
A granddaughters best friend
A role model
A protector.

Grandparents are forever in my heart.
