Grandparents are for stories about things of long ago. Grandparents are for caring about all the things you know... Grandparents are for rocking you and singing you to sleep, Grandparents are for giving you nice memories to keep... Grandparents are for knowing all the things you're dreaming of... But, most importantly of all, grandparents are for love. ~Author Unknown~  7th & 8th Grade Acrostic Poem  Generous Radical Appreciative Nice Dependable Patient Awesome Radiant Exciting Neat Tidy Sincere
