Share Photos on National Grandparents Day!

Grandparents hold a special pace in the lives of their families. They often have superstar status among the littlest ones in families. They are our vital link to family history. They always seem to be there for many of us.

Now it's time to return some of that love. Sunday, Sept. 9, marks National Grandparents Day, the perfect time to let Grandma and Grandpa know just how special they are to you.

According to the National Grandparents Day website:

"The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day."
