Ode to Grandmas (and Great Grandmas, too)

It's time for an ode to Grandmas.  I know two Grandmas who have been under the weather lately and could maybe use a little cheering up.  Here are a few quotes I found that I think reflect nicely on just how special Grandmas are.

• It is as grandmothers that our mothers come into the fullness of their grace.  ~Christopher Morley
  

• It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the world calls her grandmother.  ~Author Unknown
  

• Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.  Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.  ~Alex Haley
  

• A garden of love grows in a Grandmother's heart.  ~Author Unknown
  

• What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance.  They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.  And, most importantly, cookies.  ~Rudolph Giuliani
