Win a copy of Grandma Bird to celebrate Grandparents Day *NOW CLOSED*

When I pick them up from school and see the smiles on their faces when they see me and watching them sleep when they stay over.Priceless !

big age gap with my 3 grandchildren so have had lots of lovely smiles and hand holding and now going there again with the youngest. Love being a grandma. so much fun now i have the time and cash spare to spend with

Being there and the unconditional love they show and yu feel for them

Smiles and hugs from most of the 11 we have as long as they're not in that 'bit embarrassing, eh, what?' phase that they all go through.

Enjoying the unconditional love we have for each other; having "exclusive-to-us" adventures and then putting my feet up when he goes home!!

The change of expression from bewildered to joy when my 2 year old grandson was looking out for me on a crowded station

"You always get a good feed at Granny's". From my 11year old grandson, whose parents are both excellent cooks!

Children are our legacy and future. As grandparents we are given a second opportunity to enjoy and reflect upon the amazing development of a child as well as their fascinating play and learning.

Ours provide such joy and magic. Yes they are tiring but that was always the way.

When the two of them jump on my bed shouting "get up grandad" better than any alarm clock!!

Love it when my 2 year old Grandson puts his arms round my neck and says "I love you Gwandma."

Spontaneous hugs, cuddles & handholding from my two little ones. I never thought I'd be getting them again, my other grandson's coming 30.

Those lovely Snuggly cuddles when they put their arm around your neck

Our grand-daughter is delightful. We enjoy every minute we share together.

That feeling of overwhelming love that I had previously thought was only for my children.

Handing them back when you've had enough

I love it when my little grandson totally relaxes on my knee after our riotous playtime!

My three year old granddaughter, on being told I was wearing an ID badge so people would know who I was, replied incredulously ‘but you’re Grandma !!’

All of the joy and none of the responsibilities,

Hearing my grandson say 'love you granny' at the end of our phone calls

When my granddaughter holds up her arms and says "Grandma , I want a duddle " (cuddle)

Spending the day with my granddaughter is so special. She chatters non stop. We had a very poignant moment last week sitting on a park bench she looked up and said Your not going to die are you Nana?

Loving the moment of being near them at the moment, especially to help my overworked full on farming daughter. Enjoying seeing their progress in life & their love. Just want to keep going as long as I can,

I'm not one....yet.

The way that their very indivdual smell, is their very essence

My grandchild
