Our Grandparents, The Emotional Heroes Of Our Past
Among all the corners of the world, there are always favorites. No matter how much you move, how much you travel or where you are, it is never a bad time to return. You know well what they are: ‘your home people’.
Households smell of unconditional love and acceptance. They smell of affection, of long hugs where your eyes close and a smile breaks out.

For this reason, a home person is the best mirror to look at each day: it always reflects the most real and authentic version of you. The prettiest. They are the light at the end of the tunnel, the support along the way and the shoulder on which to deposit your tears.
Mending broken wings
Our grandparents are home people, unforgettable steel, unique and irreplaceable. Their memories taste like joy and tenderness, the hugging corner, the knowing glances of two people who know they are made to love each other.
They smell of home, of freshly made chestnuts, of respect, of new games, of magic tricks, of pride and satisfaction, of the wet earth of a summer storm, of the taste of a cup of chocolate on a winter’s day. They smell of childhood and growth.
His emotional imprint has been impregnated in us in the most basic principles for life, in the value of respect, maturity, temperance, care and protection.
We have engraved his wise looks, the depth of his words and his teachings, the unfinished games, the emotional challenges, the kisses that healed any pain and the afternoon chocolate.
The memories of an infinite love
Can you imagine life as if it were the game of pilla-pilla?
Well, grandparents … they are home
Elvira Sastre Adaptation
Grandparents make the life of a child exceptional, they symbolize everything that is worth cuddling for and feeling the warmth of two kind arms that always wanted to welcome us. They are the most skilled make-up artists of knee injuries, a breath that anesthetizes and a hug that completely restored us.
With them we set off without rules, with the calm that someone who knows well their role to play teaches. And it is that they educated us with the serenity of the years and the satisfaction for continuity.
From the first minute of life we become his comrades, his playmates and the smile of his thoughts. We shared enemies during the best years of our lives, hiding our game from parents who had a duty to avoid excessive consent.
Delve into our roots …
Grandparents are wonderful because they listen and show genuine interest in what you have to say. Also, as is often said, perfect love sometimes doesn’t come to the first grandchild.
A grandfather is a person with a lot of silver in his hair and a lot of gold in his heart. Its emotional richness colors our history with warm colors, indelible marks, charisma and love.
It is that grandparents have shown us that there are no barriers to love and that the path of affection is immense.
Our grandparents are one of the greatest treasures that we will find in life. For this reason, it is important that we remain faithful to our roots and that we never forget what their existence and their participation in our life meant for us.
If you have been fortunate enough to be able to share your life with your grandparents, take advantage of every wink that memories make you and recognize yourself in the values that they promulgated. It gives more importance to respect, love and care than to the ephemeral and banal.
If now it’s your turn to act as a grandparent, make sure your grandchildren remember you fondly. Never forget them, keep them alive and present in your day to day. Let the voice of experience and genuineness speak in you.
