The role of grandparents in our life is much more than what meets the eye. We know how much they love us.. what we don’t know is how much they watch over us. Pakistani grandparents know how to handle their children and grandchildren – such is the way love goes around.
Here’s why we think Pakistani grandparents always remain in our hearts, no matter how old we get.
1. From the moment you come into this world.. you are a symbol of pride for your grandparents!
2. Your grandparents understand the meaning of love more than anyone else in the family, without a doubt!
3. They have a lived a long life.. full of experiences and stories.. which they share with you, as you grow up!
4. Your favorite place to go, since childhood, was either “Nani ka ghar” or “Daadi ka ghar”.
5. You’d spend days at your grandparents house and they would love you more than your parents.. along with rest of your cousins!
6. And whenever you used to leave their house or them leaving yours.. they’d give you a present or money to buy anything you want!
7. As you grew old and got busy with life, the contact cut short.. but you just know the day they’ll see you.. it’ll be just like old times!
8. Today’s grandparents look the cutest when they try to come in terms with today’s technology.. especially with smartphones!
9. They know you better than anyone.. even your parents.. why? Because they brought-up your parents too!
10. And every time the whole family is together.. somebody would ask the grandparents to share their love story! True romance.
11. And the fancy gifts that come with cool grandparents.. well, we’ll leave those just for the lucky ones!
12. They are walking history books.. literally! They remember everything from their childhood to yours.
13. All your life.. they saved you from your parents’ anger. Whenever you were scared.. they had your back!
14. Your grandparents will do everything in their power to become your best friend.. that’s just how it works in Pakistan!
15. And for those who lost their grandparents at a young age or never got the chance to know them.. well, maybe one day you could fill the gap yourselves ?
To all the grandparents, of the past, the present and the future. May you always love us with the same passion. <3.
