After A Study Revealed Which Grandparent Has The Biggest Impact On Raising Grandkids, Everyone Had The Same Reaction

“My mom passed in late November. She had a massive stroke in April and never really recovered. In her last year, I saw my 17-year-old son demonstrate selflessness to make her passing easier for her. He’d hold her hand for hours in the hospital because she was scared, and it made her feel safe. I watched him read trashy celebrity news on his iPad to her (she loved trashy literature). He actually picked her up to help her when the elevator wasn’t working. He fed her. He cleaned her up.”

“It wasn’t just what she gave him, although she was as amazing grandmother. It’s what she brought out in our sons: kindness, unconditional love, and being good for no other reason than to show compassion. I miss her more than I can explain, but I see her in my kids. That gives me hope.”
