Joyce Allston thinks that grandparents, like heroes, are as important to a child’s development as vitamins, and we couldn’t agree more. The reasons these people are “the best kind of grownups” are several. They are a combination of parents, teachers, and friends, and those who have had the privilege of growing up with them are the fortunate ones.

The truth is that whatever we say about grandparents will be insufficient to express their significance in the lives of their grandchildren. Clem, a young woman, revealed an astonishing story about her adored grandmother. Her grandmother gave her a toy sheep for her sixth or seventh birthday. Clem adored the toy.

Clem received another plastic sheep from her grandmother on each of her subsequent birthdays, and while she couldn’t understand why the sweet old lady gave her plastic sheep each year, it became a nice tradition, and Clem was overjoyed to receive yet another toy she would keep as her grandmother requested. Clem’s grandmother handed her the last plastic sheep before she died, but this time she disclosed the reason for the bizarre gifts.

Hidden behind each sheep was a code that led Clem to a secret money account put up by her grandmother with almost $120,000.Clem discovered a handwritten letter from the woman she cared deeply about in the safety deposit box. Although the grandmother was no longer present, Clem knew she was watching over her from above, and the gift was just another example of how much she adored her granddaughter.

The money might be utilized to further Clem’s education and guarantee her future. When this young lady accomplished something amazing in life, she would go to her grandmother’s grave to share the good news with her.What a lovely article on the essence of true love between grandparents and grandchildren.
