As Caring Grandparents, we have a unique role in our families—one that goes beyond birthday cards and holiday hugs. We are anchors of love, wisdom, and comfort in times that can feel uncertain.
And right now, many of us are feeling a little “off our game.” That’s okay—it’s understandable. But imagine how confusing it must be for our Grand Angels, the little ones who look to us for reassurance and joy.
This is exactly when our presence—emotional, spiritual, and even physical when possible—is needed most.
Offer a “MAGIC Johnson” Moment
So here’s an idea: offer a “MAGIC Johnson” moment to each of your Grandkids. Something unexpected, uplifting, and full of love—just like the basketball legend’s signature plays that left everyone smiling and amazed.
Maybe it's:
A special story about their parent when they were youngA secret family recipe shared for the first time
A surprise “just because” gift
A voice message that says, “You are my sunshine.”
Moments like these become memories.
And those memories become the foundation of confidence and love your Grand Angels will carry forward.
Thank you for being a Caring Grandparent. -- The world needs more of you.
