Perhaps, one of the most wonderful end of life is to become a grandparent. If you look back, the young age is a roller coaster of wonderful experiences and memories you can always treasure. And when you grow up and dwell in your twilight years, it is your time to give to the new generation what you have experienced when you were still in their place by being a wonderful grandmother or grandfather.
Commonly, grandparents become very fond of their grandchildren that it almost seemed as if they loved them more than they do their children. But that is not necessarily the case. First of all, grandparents have a role to play and so they need to get involved and by doing so, they foster the kind of relationship they all display. That is what is common in the Catholic grandparents association.
Just like when adults became parents, their joy in having a child is incomparable. But at least that sentiment is not exclusive. It is because grannies too are as happy and excited as the parents are that they almost assume the baby as theirs. Well that is always the case and the explanation goes like this.
You see, the love which the parents have for their children is inclusive. They even get to love their kids friends a lot so what more if it were a grandchild. This is the reason why grandparents pamper their grandchildren a lot. That is simply an overflow of the love that they have for their child. When you ask grannies about this, they would simply say, I love my children, thats why.
This is why when a grandchild is born, the joy of grandmothers and grandfathers are beyond compare. You can take it as them seeing the baby as their own. Yes that's right. And when you ask these elders what they want for the child, they will say, we want the best for him or her. And we will do what we can to help fulfill that vision.
They always recall what their role in being grandparents are. And then they realized that it is of paramount importance. Most especially in a Christian family where values and knowing the faith is very important, the role of grannies is a great help for parents. Given the fact that they cannot devote all their time to their children, it having a grandmother or a grandfather at least will address the lackingness.
To make it more specific, this group of people is united by believing in the importance of the vocation of grandparents. This association was actually established just recently by Catherine Wiley who is a loving grandmother to her grandchildren as well. For her, it is the duty, responsibility, and vocation of grannies to do what they can since it is probably the most important and last important job they can have.
And it was such an inspiration for the group when the Holy Father, Pope Francis spoke of how he greatly loved his grandmother Rosa who became his teacher of faith. Because of this, all the elders who have taken his message were moved to play their role. And with this, the grannies took on their mission.
While the association did what they can to extend their apostolate far and wide so that all the grandparents in the world who wish to partake in this important role would be taught how and also be encouraged to engage in their mission work for Christ with utmost inspiration.
