National Grandparents Day was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Marian McQuade received a phone call from the White House to advise her of this event. Many people incorrectly believe that National Grandparents Day was inspired by her efforts.

Each year the President is requested to issue a proclamation to: designate the first Sunday in September after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day; and to call on people, groups and organizations to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

The official song of National Grandparents Day is “A Song for Grandma And Grandpa” by Johnny Prill. The official flower for the day is the “forget-me-not” flower. 
So… From my house to Grandparents everywhere … Happy Grandparents Day


So I copied the above from my sweetheart's blog. But I thought it was important enough to spread the word.


So many grandparents across the country have had to take guardianship of their grandchildren for various reasons. I am blessed to have been honored as a step grandparent to 3 of the most precious little girls you could ever find.  Thanks to their grandmother, their lives are now full of hope, joy and love.  
Oh, did I mention that my life is filled with that same joy, happiness and love from one of the most caring, loving wonderful grandmothers I have even known. But now that love has spread to those three little girls that keep Nana busy. Due to 1,200 miles that separate us for now, I feel so helpless in helping and sharing in the responsibilities that for now my sweetheart has to take care of by herself. 
So especially for her, I want to wish her a very special Happy Grandparents Day
