Grandparents contribute a special relationship to a child that no one else can give them.They can always be counted upon to buy anything you're selling ... from all-purpose greeting cards to peanut brittle ... from flower seeds to cookies ... from transparent tape to ten chances on a pony.A grandparent buys you gifts your mother says you don't need.  A grandparent pretends he doesn't know who you are on Halloween.A grandparent will put a sweater on you when she is cold, feed you when she is hungry and put you to bed when she is tired.A grandparent will frame a picture of your hand that you traced over the brocade sofa in the Mediterranean living room.A grandparent will check to see if you are crying when you are sound asleep.A grandparent is the only babysitter who doesn't charge money to keep you.A grandparent will believe you can read when you have the book upside down.When a grandchild says, "Grandma, how come you didn't have any children?" a grandparent will fight back the tears.
