September 7th is National Grandparents Day in the United States. More than a reason to sell greeting cards, this annual event recognizes the strength, love and guidance grandparents provide to families.
Unlike decades past when many family members (including grandparents) lived near one another, today’s families often reside far away from each other and in various states across the country. My immediate family and I are fortunate to live in a neighboring community to my parents. Being the youngest of my siblings and my parents having me later on in their life, it’s a priority to me that my children get to spend quality time and grow up around my parents. Tradition is very important to family and we are a blend of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Spanish, Italian, and Caucasian ethnicities. As the ‘baby boomer generation’ gets older, many traditional and festive customs can sometimes disappear or be forgotten with time.
National Grandparents Day is a great opportunity to spend time with grandparents and learn about family customs and traditions. Children can learn a lot about family history by spending time talking with their grandparents and comparing their life stories.
