Grandparents Share The 1 Thing Their Grandkid Did That Made Them Feel Loved

"When we go to visit, they are standing in front of the window and jump up and down with excitement when we pull into the driveway. Melts my heart every time!"

Grandparents support their grandkids in a multitude of ways, whether it’s helping to raise them day to day, teaching them new skills and life lessons, showing interest in their hobbies, or providing a listening ear and words of wisdom when they need guidance. But it’s not a one-way relationship — grandchildren enrich their grandparents’ lives in ways big and small, too.

We recently asked the grandparents of the HuffPost Facebook community to share the thoughtful gestures and heartfelt comments from their grandkids that have really stuck with them. Read their sweet stories below:

1. “My granddaughter asked me to let her record me singing the lullabies I used to sing to her so she can have them for her children.” — Ruth G.

2. “I had a very catastrophic fall while out of the country. After two surgeries, I got a flight home and was hospitalized. My granddaughter asked her teacher if everyone in the class could sign the get-well card she made for me. I wept in gratitude for days for having such a thoughtful, caring child in my life.” — Paula B.

3. “During a recent visit, my 7-year-old grandson told me that he’s never homesick when he stays with us because our house is like his house. He also said that he felt sad because he didn’t really want to go home, but he realized that he needed to see his parents and play some Pokémon.” — Nan Wise
