    Gotta be a fake, right?

    Thanks to calmer heads prevailing, this is <span style="text-decoration: underline">NOT</span> a new thing. As shown here , it was originally <span style="font-weight: bold">STARTED</span> by President Jimmy Carter. In 1978.

    The appearance of the 'reaffirmation' sure is misleading though. With all due respect to Grandparents everywhere. I just don't know why it needed to be 'reaffirmed'.

    Deleted post cause I don't feel I made a good choice of words, I have to grandparents left so I do like to have a day to remember them but maybe a more reasonable date. This day just doesn't seem to be.

    Obama didn't pick the day. Grandparents day is (or has been since it started in 1978) the first Sunday after Labor Day.

    It just happens to fall on Sept. 11th this year.

    To me Grandparents day is every day my granddaughter wants me to go horse back riding with her, or motorcycle riding.

    Or going to her many Vollyball or Basketball games.

    The best day for me, was the day when someone asked her about her father (whom deserted her when she was less then 2 years old) and she says she have or want a father, she has Grandpa.

    She's the love of my life.
