Some people in life are so precious and special, that they deserve to be protected at all costs. Grandparents are usually these people. Our grandparents are the ones who try to make our lives fun, happy, and sentimental all at the same time. They step up and step in when our parents need them to and they love us unconditionally for life.

This grandma who didn't like her late husband very much.
