The National Grandparents Day Song
A Song for Grandma and Grandpa
Chorus:
Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
A walk through the park, a trip to the zoo
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you
Verse One:
Going to a ball game, fishing on the lake
Eating Grandma’s cookies, boy they sure taste great
Going to the circus when it comes to town
Eating cotton candy and laughing at the clowns
Chorus:
Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
A hug and a kiss, a ride home from school
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you
Verse Two:
Spending time together, talking on the phone
Happy birthday presents, chocolate ice cream cones
Photographs and memories, picnics and parades
Saying that you love me in so many ways
Chorus:
Oh Grandma, Grandpa, you know that I love you
I love all those little things that you say and do
The stories you tell, things I never knew
Oh Grandma, Grandpa I love you

In closing, I also want to share an important legal document that our friend and elder care attorney Ann Carroza, (www.myelderlaw attorney.com) suggests that everyone should create an Appointment of Agent to Dispose of Remains document. Hopefully, this document can make the process of loss of life easier for the family.
Let’s all take a moment of silence to be thankful for all we have and to thank those who have responded or lost their lives from acts of hatred and misunderstanding. Let Peace Prevail on Earth.
Reverend Paul Sladkus (Interfaith Minister)
