My parents are wonderful Grandparents to her and she loves them both dearly. She always talks about "Going to Grandma and Grandad's house on Friday" - they look after her every Friday so I can do my volunteer work. I'm so lucky in the fact they are both retired and they live about a 10-15 minute drive from my house. Mini Cheddar squeals with delight whenever she sees them.
I know a lot of people don't have any support from their parents, they have passed away or they live far away.
So each day I try to remind myself just how lucky I am.

I hope in years to come that I can be as wonderful to my Grandchildren as they are to Mini Cheddar.

You certainly are lucky. Sadly both my parents & all my grandparents left me a long time ago. It is lovely to share your though!
Oh Heather what a lovely post! Being a Grandparent is such a wonderful experience...I love being a Nan. Love the photo of your parents with Mini Cheddar...You can tell they totally adore her. The quote is Fab...might pinch that for my Facebook profile x

What a lovely touching photo. I was torn whether to do mine about my parents, I expect I will get a chance soon enough :-) x
She is a lucky Mini Cheddar! Beautiful photo! xxx
What a wonderful photo. Great quote too. You are very, very lucky but sound like you know that.
One of my biggest regrets is not living close enough to Gracey to be the grandma she needs as I believe they are incredibly important in a child's life. Beautiful B+W photo there
two very adoring grandparents captured very well
