Reassuring and loving presences, the elders of our community are always there for us, happy to share the lessons of their lives, their company, their memories, and their humor. Edward Fays knows well the power of grandparents -- his own and others'. When Fays and his fiancee had to confront a devastating personal tragedy, he consoled her with his grandparents' funny, warm, and inspiring stories. After they helped her heal, he began to collect anecdotes and lessons from grown-up grandkids and grandparents alike. The stories in A Grandparent's Gift of Love will make you think, make you laugh, and comfort you again and again. Book jacket.
