@Vacantfever41 Thank you. I agree, I miss them all sometimes.

@AthrillatheHunt It was just truly amazing to me what my Thai grandparents had experienced living in bungalows in Phuket and what they had lived through. My (on my Father's side) grandfather had passed away before I was born, but my grandmother was always encouraging me to fulfill my potential and enjoy life to the fullest

@AthrillatheHunt So true. It is often unconditional and characterized by patience, understanding, and a willingness to listen. There is no doubt that grandparents are often able to pass on their wisdom and values to their grandchildren, which can positively affect their development. The presence of grandparents in a child's life can also provide that child with a sense of comfort and stability, working as a link to the past as well as a sense of security.
