Grandparents birthday
Today is a very happy and unusual day of my life -for it is the birthday of my my grandfather and also that of his wife, my grandmother. Yes, the pair of them share the same birthdate though not year of course.
My grandfather celebrates his 92nd birthday today and grandma her 88th birthday.
They have been married since 1943,which makes this year their 66th year of being together.
They have 3 children, who are 64, 62 and 60 years old- one of whom is my mother.
My grandparents have given me some of the happiest memories of my childhood and I will always cherish them.
I have tried to take my children to all those places and tried to recreate some of the old magic.
I am ever so grateful to them for having been in our lives and blessing us each day for so long.
I just felt I had to share this with the QLers.

I thought this thread was closed as it is a new day today.
Thanks to all of you who cared to continue to remember and wish my grandparents and UK Eng' s parents the very best.
Also PM, wish your parents a long , happy and healthy married life.
It seems rare these days to find couples living together this long or is it getting commoner, I wonder ?

Yeah often children prefer their grandparents to their parents.
My little daughter who turned 10 this year says - I have reached a two digit number ( in age ) and great grand pa will have reached a 3 digit number ( touch wood).

Thank you Formatted Soul and UkEng.
They have 7 grandchildren, 6 of whom are married of whom 5 grandchildren have 9 children which makes them the great grandparents of 9 children.
Their one desire is to see my cousin's , who has been married for about 11 years now, children.
Some times I feel it is this desire that keeps them going.
I think grandparents are what make our lives so worth living,

they are made for each other..
Moving on is simple; it's what you leave behind that makes it so difficult .
How sweet... that they are together for so long..
Amazingly this post gives
