To celebrate the release of The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83¼ Years Old we've decided to give some appreciation to the amazing senior citizens of this world to celebrate Grandparents Day this Sunday!
The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83¼ Years Old
They let you get away with things your parents wouldn't!
Grandparents may let you do things that your own parents normally wouldn't let you do. If anything they actually encourage you to be a little more rebellious. They may have seen a lot of the world themselves hence why they might encourage you to do more things that your own parents might not necessarily encourage. You can count on them to let you be a little more adventurous. They've lived a long life and they know what's too much and what isn't so instinctively we will always follow our grandparents, even if sometimes it means having to be rebellious to our own parents.
Really Amazing Cooks!
Now you might love your parents cooking but where do you think those skills were learnt? Likelihood is that they learned all their cooking skills from their own parents, they are the original culinary chefs of these cuisines you love and because of that they cook these great meals better than anyone else. On top of being the original chefs they also have their own crafty little kitchen secrets which make these meals that much more amazing and special.
Give you pocket money!
Sometimes parents can be quite strict with allowances. You get a certain amount every week and that's it, nothing more. But we all know that more often than not our weekly allowance is usually gone within the first couple of days. This is why grandparents are even more amazing because they've got your back when you need some extra cash. Not just when you're a kid but even when you're living a full adult life they are always looking out for you!
Give you advice
Grandparents give the best advice in the world ranging from how to handle your finances, how to get started career wise or even advice that can help you with your relationships. They have been living on this world for decades and they have been through so much that they know exactly how to help us out when we're in need of some life advice. Sometimes their advice even comes in the forms of old stories from their past.
True Love
If there's anyone in the world that knows what true love is, it's our grandparents. So many grandparents have been with their partners since they were in their mid teens and today, just like the first day they met, they are still very much in love with each other. But it's not just true love with their partner, it's true love with everyone in their family. They love their kids and their grandkids so unconditionally which is why they're always looking out for you, giving you the best advice, encouraging you to go out and live life. It's because one of their most important goals in life is to make you be as happy as possible in this world. Absolutely no one can love you as much as they do.
