I never got a single gift from any of my grandparents, for any occasion. I didn’t even know that was a ‘thing’ until I was well grown.

I guess they loved us in their own way, but they left that sort of thing to my parents, who always came through with the goodies.

My grandparents were simply surviving.

I remember my dad taking a bushel basket of canned goods to his parents at Christmas.

My mom's brothers took care of her dad.

Sometimes the best gift is a hug.
