35 Best Grandma Quotes to Celebrate the Heart of the Family
"When it seems the world can't understand, your grandmother's there to hold your hand." ❤️
There's nothing like the bond you share with your grandma! Ree Drummond, who recently reached "Grandma" status with the birth of Alex Drummond's daughter Sofia, can attest. "While the uncles and sisters and grandfathers were gingerly passing Sofia to one another, I'd grab her with all the confidence of a grandmother lioness, knowing exactly what to do," Ree said about her first photo op with Sofia.
Aside from snuggles, grandmas are also key in passing down cherished family recipes through the generations—something Ree, who's shared her favorite family recipes with her kids, can certainly relate to. Simply put, having a grandma is an experience unlike any other. With Mother's Day coming up, it's the perfect time to find ways to honor the special woman in your life. This collection of the most heartwarming grandma quotes is the perfect place to start!
You can use these quotes for a memory book for grandparents or a thoughtful gift for her on Mother's Day. Hey—they might make for a perfect grandmother gift for no reason at all! Take this quote by Marcy DeMaree, for example: “Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day, and now the day was complete.” How sweet, right?!
