A reminder not to forget your grandparents.

[Wazzap]

Why do most take them for granted?. I don't have either but wish I did.

[h=2]On Wednesday night, Harmon tweeted a photo of herself having dinner with her grandfather. She then revealed what she said was the GUT-WRENCHING story behind her snap.[/h]



Harmon told BuzzFeed News now that the six grandkids are older, it is hard for them to all get together like they used to. But, Papaw had asked them to all come over while they were around for spring break.

[h=2]Harmon said she posted the picture to Twitter not expecting it to even get a retweet. But the tweet totally blew up, and got more than 70,000 retweets in less than 24 hours. Hearts broke all over the world for poor Papaw.[/h]
[h=2]Why didn’t the other five grandkids show up?[/h]

I admit I was not very accommodating towards one of my grandparents. We weren't close but I should have tried harder as I was more concerned being with my friends and having fun like a typical teenager.

We all take people we love for granted when they're around and when they pass we mourn and regret....human nature I suppose. Kudo's to the thoughtful girl that showed up for her gramps

Did she have to post in in social media?. Wouldn't a call to the kids be sufficient?.

Because she wanted attention.

kids don't call anymore social media is their form of communication, no surprise that she posted it, I would have found it odd she didn't and who knows the responses it may have made her gramps feel better
