In France he is "grandpére." In Spain or Mexico he is
"abuello." In Germany she is “grossmutter”, while in
Russia she is “babushka." In western societies they are our
grandparents, and throughout the world grandparents
hold revered positions in the family hierarchy, for the
bond between grandparents and grandchildren is special.
In decades past family life was more communal. Children
grew up, married and settled in the same communities as
their parents, and grandparents assumed active roles in
the care of their grandchildren. However, distance often
separates grandparents from their grandchildren in mod-
ern societies. The emotional bonds remain strong and
loving nonetheless. Grandparents, with their own child-
rearing years behind them, enjoy the vitality and eager
innocence which their grandchildren embody. They take
enormous pride in their grandchildren's accomplish-
ments — large or small — and happily sport “Ask me
about my grandbaby" bumper stickers on the fenders of
their autos.
